Abstract

The allocation of household members’ time and the home production of goods and services is a key factor to understand macroeconomic fluctuations (Benhabib et al., Journal of Political Economy 99:1166–1187, 1991). In recent years, the EU enlargement to East-European countries has generated a sharp increase in the flows of low-skilled immigrants who supply services that substitute or complement the domestic production. This has affected household members’ (especially women) decisions about time allocation and, consequently, the business cycle. In this chapter, we develop a simple model of the impact of an increase in the supply of marketable domestic services on time allocation and present some empirical evidence of the change in time allocation patterns which occurred in Italy in recent years.
