Over Time

Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we provide evidence that to understand household decisions and evaluate policies designed to affect individual welfare, it is important to add an intertemporal dimension to the by-now standard static collective models of the household. Specifically, we document that the observed differences in labor supply by gender and marital status do not arise suddenly at the time of marriage, but rather emerge gradually over time. We then propose an intertemporal collective model that has the potential of explaining the observed patterns.

Patricia Apps of University of Sydney reviews “The Marriage Motive: A Price Theory of Marriage: How Marriage Markets Affect Employment, Consumption, and Savings”, by Shoshana Grossbard. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: “Uses price theory to analyze how economic outcomes (such as employment, other time uses, consumption, and savings) are related to marriage markets. Discusses a theory of allocation of time in markets for labor and marriage—macromodel; a theory of allocation of time in markets for labor and marriage—multiple markets for work-in-household; how marriage markets affect allocation and valuation of time implications from a macro model; compensating differentials in marriage markets and more new implications for labor supply based on a Marshallian marriage market analysis; revisiting labor supply effects of sex ratio, income, and wage—effects of marriage-related laws; labor supply, household production, and common law marriage legislation; labor supply and marriage markets—a simple graphic analysis with household public goods; household production and racial intermarriage; a consumption theory with competitive markets for work-in-household; and savings, marriage, and work-in-household. Grossbard doesn't have a current affiliation.”

Supply Model

We propose a collective labor supply model with household production that generalizes a model of Blundell, Chiappori, and Meghir (2005). Adults' preferences depend not only on own leisure and individual private consumption of market goods. They also depend on the consumption of domestic goods, which are produced by combining market goods with individuals' time. A new identification result, which uses production shifters, is developed. We apply our model to unique data on Dutch couples with children. Our application uses a novel estimation strategy that builds upon the familiar two-stage allocation representation of the collective model. (JEL D12, J12, J22)
