Abstract

Using a generalization of the time allocation model to estimate the opportunity cost of time, we explore the intratemporal substitutions between goods and time and the variations of individuals' full expenditures and welfares during the Great Recession. Our findings provide empirical evidence about the importance the home production over the business cycles and show that the reallocation of time absorbed approximately a third of the Great Recession's negative welfare impact.
