This article exploits the complex sequential structure of the diary data in the American Heritage Time Use Study (AHTUS) and constructs three classes of indicators that capture the quality of leisure (pure leisure, co-present leisure, and leisure fragmentation) to show that the relative growth in leisure time enjoyed by low-educated individuals documented in previous studies has been accompanie...

This paper investigates whether leisure time definitions matter in the estimation of the intertemporal elasticity of substitution of consumption (IES) by using a utility specification that allows interaction between consumption and leisure time. We find that the IES estimated using a narrowly defined leisure measure that excludes quasi-leisure activities is larger than that estimated using nonm...

The value of time (VOT) is one of the most important values in transportation planning. Although the trip-based models are widely used for estimating the VOT, the trip-based travel model can evaluate the VOT for travelers only. This paper formulates the individual’s choice of whether to travel or not with an activity-based modeling approach. I develop a discrete choice model and a discrete-cont...
