Introduction : time-use data in economics / Gerard A. Pfann -- Nobody to play with? : the implications of leisure coordination / Lars Osberg -- Estimates of a labor supply function using alternative measures ofhours of work / N. Anders Klevmarken -- Loafing or learning? : the demand for informal education / Rene Fahr -- Timing constraints and the allocation of time : the effects of changingshopping hours regulations in the Netherlands / Peter Kooreman -- Time use and child costs over thelife C / Ray Rees -- 'Mondays in the sun' : unemployment, time use, and consumption patterns in Spain / Arantza Ugidos -- Reconciling motherhood and work : evidence from time-use data in three countries / Anna Sanz de Galdeano -- The distribution of children's developmental resources / W. Jean Yeung-- A study in the process of planning, designing and executing a survey program : the BLS American time-use survey / Diane Herz -- The timing and flexibility of housework and men and women's wages / Nina Smith -- Routine / Daniel S. Hamermesh.

These studies are based on information on time use in nine countries. Such studies will become more common as more governments fund time-budget surveys and as economists realize the benefits ofusing this type of data. Each does something that either could not have been accomplished at all, or that could have been done much less convincingly on the data that one typically obtains from households. Part I deals with the when? and with whom? questions describing human behavior. These questions have been essentially ignored by social scientists generally, and have been completely ignored byeconomists. So long as we believe that people have preferences over the timing and the context of their activities, we should be able to apply economic analysis usefully to their decisions. Part II deals with what is done? questions of the quantities and determinants of economic activities.While many of these questions have been addressed using readily available retrospective data, time-diary data allow both recording them more accurately and the kind of disaggregation by type that is not possible with other kinds of data. Part III deals with children's issues - the determination of time spent at home with children and its impacts on the parents and on the children themselves. Here we have economic analyses using detailed time-diary data and special survey questions that have not heretofore been used to address these topics. Part IV consists of a single study focussed on the issuesinvolved in the creation of the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), whichbegan full-scale operations in January 2003.
