Abstract

The article presents two other applications of the standard neoclassical model of consumption-leisure choice, which forms the individual labour supply. The first one is decision making concerning time allocation with regard to household production; the second one is focused on labour supply over the life cycle. The final part supports the theoretical conclusions of models with selected recent statistical data from the Czech background.
