Gender differences in the added (home) worker effect
利用荷兰面板数据，研究意外失业对配偶有偿工作和家庭生产时间的影响，发现配偶劳动供给和家庭生产时间均无显著变化，且无性别差异。
This study combines the literature on home production and on the added worker effect as households’ self-insurance mechanisms against unemployment. Exploiting Dutch panel data with detailed information on time use categories and subjective job loss expectations, we estimate the causal effect of an unforeseen job loss on spouses’ time use decisions regarding paid work and home production. In the analysis we explicitly differentiate between males and females who experience sudden unemployment. We find no effect on the intensive or extensive margins of spousal labor supply or on spousal time in home production.
