摘要: Abstract Studies on socio-economic impacts of climate and energy policies tend to focus income expenditure effects. For analyses that go beyond monetary dimensions, time-diary data have proven be useful. Here we investigate how work time relates leisure activity structures associated use for different types employees. To this end, an analysis time-use is undertaken Finland France. Novel elements are (1) a differentiation between part-time full-time employees, (2) the distinct intensities activities by household type instead average intensities, (3) allowing non-linear relationships allocation other activities. Our results suggest effects rather homogeneous in Finland, whereas find more differences employee In both countries, adjustment leisure-activity duration sometimes strong initially but flattening longer hours. This another finding, namely composition differs people with study suggests disaggregated can add relevant insights evaluation, possibly design, energy, labour-market policies.
