Subject: Call for Papers IZA Topic Week: Nonmarket Time in Economics
Dear IZA Research Fellows and Affiliates,
We invite you to submit a paper for the following event:
Title: IZA Topic Week: Nonmarket Time in Economics
Organizers: Daniel S. Hamermesh (University of Texas at Austin and IZA), Ana Rute Cardoso (IZA)
Place: IZA, Bonn
Date: May 30, 2007 - June 02, 2007
Submission Deadline: September 18, 2006
Notification of Acceptance: October 15, 2006
Complete Papers Due: May 04, 2007
Description:
The overall purpose of the Topic Week is to encourage people who are studying economic problems that might be addressed using time-diary data to interact, aid each other in their research and generate useful collaborations. It is essential to go beyond the work/leisure distinction and to recognize the variety of non-work activities and their non-separability from market work. To some extent this Topic Week follows up the Time-Use Network that met in 2003. It is necessitated by the burgeoning availability of time-use data on both sides of the Atlantic, including the European Harmonized Surveys and the American Time Use Survey. This growth has made the possibility of fruitful research and the potential gains from such a meeting far greater than they were even four years ago. Any project that develops and/or tests economic ideas on non-market behaviour using time-diary data is welcome. We encourage the use of data from several countries to test/illustrate an economic idea. Also!
welcomed are attempts to generate and test economic explanations of well-known differences by gender and ethnicity in patterns of and secular changes in time use. We expect to have 20 participants in the Topic Week, consisting of a mix of junior and senior researchers.
We expect participants will commit to being present during the entire four days of the Topic Week, as the informal interactions among the participants are at least as important in generating new research as are the presentations of existing papers.
