Togetherness in the Household
研究了配偶共处（共同休闲和共同育儿）对家庭的价值，发现荷兰家庭愿意为将私人休闲转为共同休闲支付每小时1.20欧元，为将私人育儿转为共同育儿支付每小时2.10欧元。
Spending time with a spouse is a major gain from marriage. We extend the classical collective model of the household to allow for togetherness between spouses. Togetherness takes the form of joint leisure and joint care for children. Using revealed preference conditions and Dutch data over the years 2009–2012, we find that households are willing to pay €1.20 per hour—10 percent of the average wage—to convert private leisure to joint leisure and €2.10 per hour to convert private childcare to joint childcare. Our results suggest togetherness is an important component of household time use despite being overlooked in the economics literature.
