The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1987, vol. 69, issue 1, 83-89

Abstract: Leisure-inclusive welfare indices, such as the real wage index, have been previously in-vestigated only with aggregate data. Using mi-cro data, however, these indices show the ef-fects of increasing labor market employment of househo ld members. Real wage, expenditure, and nonlabor income indices are compared acr oss six types of husband/wife households. These indices are also compared to ad hoc real wage and leisure-exclusive index measures. Doubt is cast on pastresult s based upon aggregate data. Copyright 1987 by MIT Press.
