Abstract: In this paper, we use American Time Use Survey (ATUS) andheterogeneity in unemployment insurance policies across states to examine the relationship between unemployment insurance policies and home production. The empirical results suggest that moving to a two times more generous state would decrease time spent on home production about 11 hours per week for unemployed. We also show that theory is consistent with this empirical observation under reasonableassumptions.
