Using Italian data from the Time Use Survey (Istat) on the time devoted by Italian women to housework tasks, in this study we analyze how much individual ability of a woman employed in the market influences her housework time. To this aim we estimate a two-regime Endogenous-Switching model for both employed and not employed women. As a novelty, a ML estimation of this model provides also the point-estimation of the across-regime correlation parameter, that allows us to evaluate the individual skill effect on the time devoted to housework tasks by a woman and to calculate the probability of choosing one of the two regimes, corrected for the endogeneity of the choice. The estimation framework allows us to identify the role of individual skills of the Italian women in household decision-making.

Abstract

Using Italian data from the Time Use Survey (Istat) on the time devoted by Italian women to housework tasks, in this study we analyze how much individual ability of a woman employed in the market influences her housework time. To this aim we estimate a two-regime Endogenous-Switching model for both employed and not employed women. As a novelty, a ML estimation of this model provides also the point-estimation of the across-regime correlation parameter, that allows us to evaluate the individual skill effect on the time devoted to housework tasks by a woman and to calculate the probability of choosing one of the two regimes, corrected for the endogeneity of the choice. The estimation framework allows us to identify the role of individual skills of the Italian women in household decision-making.
