Review of Economics of the Household, 1-36. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11150-023-09684-4 Resumen: Recent analyses have shown that commutes to and from work are not symmetric, suggesting that intermediate activities are at the root of the asymmetries. However, to model how these activities accumulate and interact within trips to and from work is a methodologically unexplored issue. We analyze the […]

Porras-Arena, M. S., & Martín-Román, Á. L. (2023). The heterogeneity of Okun’s law: A metaregression analysis. Economic Modelling, 106490. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econmod.2023.106490 Resumen:  Okun’s law, a significant parameter in empirical research and policy analysis, faces considerable heterogeneity. This stems from its dual interpretation in the literature, with one implying unemployment’s effects on output and the other suggesting output’s effects on unemployment. Consequently, comparing results from these approaches is not straightforward. Even within […]

The analysis extends previous research on the gender gap in commuting by using econometric decomposition techniques that are novel in this field […]
