1.Less work more play

When we enjoy recreation, our time is combined with goods
and services such as sporting equipment or admission fees.
Thus, variations in the price of products used for leisure might
change their consumption levels and alter the amount of time
devoted to enjoying recreation. Given the importance of
recreation in our time budgets, the amount of time allocated to
other activities such as work could also be affected.In a study
appearing in the July 2007 issue of the Journal of Labor
Economics, Jorge Gonzales-Chapela (Universidad de
Alicante, Spain) combines individual-level data in the United
States with metropolitan price indices to better understand
how changes in the price of recreation goods can influence the
labor/leisure balance.
Gonzales-Chapela finds that for every 1 percent increase in
the price of recreation goods men between the ages of 25 and
54 who work full-time will work an extra 3.2 hours a year. Men
in this age range devote an average of 3.7 hours per day to
“socializing, relaxing, and leisure” – their third most timeconsuming
daily activity – meaning that even a 1 percent rise in
the price of recreation translates into the loss of one day’s
worth of leisure per year.
“Since the relative price of recreation goods dropped, for
instance, in the United States by about 15 percent between
1976 and 1981, if this price change could be considered as
anticipated, a prime-age man would have lowered – on
average – his market time by some 48 annual hours between
1976 and 1981 solely because of incentives created by
variations in the price of recreation goods,” explains
Gonzales-Chapela. These findings suggest a new
explanation for the different patterns of work and leisure
observed in the U.S. and Europe since the 1970s. Should the
behavioral response found in this study using U.S. data be
similar in European countries, the price of recreation goods
would contribute towards explaining the increase in the market
hours gap between the U.S. and Europe
