Estimation and Valuation of Non-leisure Time

B F Kiker and M Mendes de Oliveira

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, 1990, vol. 52, issue 2, 115-41

Abstract: The authors develop a model of the work-leisure choice that incorporates household production, and then devise an econometric model that addresses simultaneously the issue of sample censoring and the joint determination of nonmarket returns and nonmarket time. The maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the model are used to estimate time allocations and time values, with an emphasis on time allocated to household production and actual and predicted marginal, average, and total value of nonmarket time. The method yields estimates of the values of nonmarket time as perceived by economic agents that should prove to be more reliable than previous estimates, particularly in the realm of applied microeconomics.
