Abstract

We examine how residential and work locations affect gender differences in time-use burden among homogeneous couples. We theoretically derive gendered values of time (VOTs) by location in spatial equilibrium. We show that (i) changes in VOT according to residential and work locations are determined by shadow prices of time and budget, (ii) households residing closer to the CBD have higher VOTs, and (iii) housework division varies by location, and VOTs differ between spouses spatially. Simulations substantiate these findings. Furthermore, our stated preference experiment confirms that VOT varies with residential location, after controlling for gender and household characteristics.
