Substitution between Goods and Leisure in a Developing Country
研究商品、女性休闲和男性休闲之间的替代性，发现商品与休闲不可分离，且斯里兰卡农村地区休闲的边际消费倾向很高，对旨在提高食品消费的转移支付项目有重要启示。
Abstract The paper explores the substitutability between goods, female leisure, and male leisure. We find that goods and leisure are not separable. We then adapt the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) to include leisure in the system in the same manner as commodities. The model is not sensitive to variations in the assumption of total time available for each individual's work and leisure. Results from Sri Lanka indicate the marginal propensity to consume leisure is quite high, especially in rural areas. This finding has important implications for transfer programs designed to raise food consumption. A somewhat surprising complementarity between male and female leisure was also observed. A number of goods were found to be complements to both male and female leisure.
