Spending Time and Money within the Household*
通过理论和实证研究，分析已婚夫妇中休闲时间与消费分配的关系，发现相对工资影响家庭内部权力，高工资一方休闲更少。
Abstract We consider, both theoretically and empirically, the allocation of time and money within the household. The research question is whether a married person who enjoys more leisure than their partner also receives more consumption (which seems to indicate the outcome of power within the household) or receives less consumption (which seems to indicate differing intrahousehold preferences). We develop a simple parametric structural model with household production that is tested on survey data. We find that relative wages have an impact on power. For leisure, this effect is dominated by a conventional wage effect, in which the partner who has the higher wage takes less leisure.
