Thesis (Ph.D.)--Brown University, 2005.

Contrary to the predictions of the comparative advantage and bargaining theories of the household, husbands' childcare time does not increase with the wages of their wives even when husbands do participate in childcare. In order to better understand why this might be, I develop a timing-sensitive model that accounts not only for the individual's tradeoff between market labor and alternative time uses, but also the scheduling of these activities. The changes in parents' childcare time in response to increases in each other's market work are shown to depend on the extent of overlap in parents' schedules and their order of arrival home from work. In particular, I show that under the timing-sensitive model, a ceteris paribus increase in the first arriver's time that he or she is home alone results in an increase in the second arriver's childcare time. Under the standard timing-insensitive model, the general result is the opposite: a parent's childcare time should decrease with an increase in the spouse's amount of time at home. The zero correlation of husbands' childcare time with wives' wages may thus result from mixing together families with different schedule configurations. My empirical analysis uses the 1997 PSID-CDS combined with the May 1997 CPS. Identification of conditional demands relating parents' childcare time to their time spent at home comes from commuting times and work schedule rigidities. Analysis using a specification that nests both models favors the timing-sensitive model over the standard model when the second arriver is female. When the second arriver is male, the results are consistent with a corner solution for either model type. Contrary to previous results, husbands do substitute for wives in childcare, but only when wives' longer work hours result in husbands spending more time home alone while wives work.
