Research note
This research note explores the trade‐offs between various categories of time use during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2007 to 2009, using continuous time use data for the United States adult population. Estimates of the annual average time per person devoted to specific tasks, at the peak of the economic boom (2007) are compared to time spent in those same the bottom of the recession (2009). Two frameworks are used in the analysis – the f…
Valuing Time
Testing the Practicality of a Personal Digital Assistant Questionnaire versus a Beeper and Booklet Questionnaire in a Random-Time Experience-Sampling Method Context
The Random-Time Experience-Sampling (RTES) method has been used to examine people’s subjective experience of time in particular activity contexts as they are experiencing particular events at random times throughout the day. The method involves a signalling device that cues respondents (at random intervals) to evaluate and report their activities for up to 70 moments of time during a week. While many empirical studies have used electronic pagers …
New Products of the 1980s and 1990s
The management of our households and the way we spend our leisure time has been greatly influenced by the introduction of various household technologies in the 1980s and 1990s. This paper compares the extent and rate of adoption of selected household products in Australian households. The diffusion of colour television sets, video cassette recorders, compact disc players, microwave ovens and personal computers into various types of households dur…
Impacts of the Domestic Microwave Oven
Microwave ovens have been adopted by Australian households with remarkable speed. Over 5 million microwave ovens have been sold in Australia, and approximately 77 per cent of Australian homes contain one. It is plausible - but difficult to prove that microwave ovens have reduced time spent cooking. Most foods take less time to prepare in a microwave oven than a conventional oven; women's cooking time has fallen during the microwave's diffusion pe…
Counting outputs, capital inputs and caring labor
The estimation of Gross Household Product, the economic value added by the unpaid work and own capital of households outside the boundary of the System of National Accounts, should be addressed through household input-output satellite accounts which count household outputs, value them at market prices, and include an allowance for capital as a factor of production. This paper uses internationally comparable survey data to estimate the relative ma…
Priorities for research on nonmarket work
Random Time Sampling
Random Time Sampling is an innovative data collection method which has potential for adaptation and use by geographers. Individual pocket‐sized programmable beepers were used in a pilot study of the uses of time by older households and older people's attitudes to different activities. Random beeps were used to prompt individuals living in eleven Melbourne suburbs to record time use data in diaries over a period of a week. The method proved extrem…
