Abstract: Using interview data on preferences for changes in own and spouse’s labor supply, I find that men put a higher value on women’s non-market time than vice versa. This is the opposite of what the unitary model of the household predicts when both spouses participate in labor market work.
Keywords: Household models; Labor supply; Stated preferences
