This article introduces a multinomial logit model that uses ancillary information to control for uncertainty in both the observed choices made by respondents, and in the attributes of a respondent's choice set. Simulated data are used to compare the performance of this estimator versus simpler...

I study the performance effect of removing performance pay across various incentive domains. Subjects in the laboratory experiment receive performance pay in either the monetary or time domain during the first working period, after which the incentive is removed in the second working period....

This study explores the differential impact of weather on time allocation to physical activity and sleep by children and their parents. We use nationally representative data with time use indicators objectively measured on multiple occasions for more than 1,100 child-parent pairs, coupled with...

We build a theoretical model to explain the complex patterns of income and obesity, accounting for changes in behavior related to exercise. We combine the theory of time allocation with the theory of conspicuous leisure in a growth model, assuming that consumption expenditures connected to...
