CONCLUSION""; ""References"" 330 3 $aThis paper studies stylized business cycle properties of household production in four industrialized countries (Canada, the United States, Germany, and Japan). We employ a dynamic small open economy business cycle model that incorporates a household production sector. We use the model to generate data on home output, hours worked in the home sector, and hours spent on leisure. We find that in each country, home output is more volatile than market output while home sector hours are about as volatile as those in the market sector. In each country, leisure is the least volatile series. Leisure hours and home hours are countercyclical in all countries, and home output is not highly correlated with market output. Home sector variables are generally less persistent than market variables, and cross-country correlations related to home production tend to be lower than those related to market production. These findings demonstrate that despite some well-known structural differences in labor markets, the cyclical features of home sector variables are similar across the countries we consider. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/046 606 $aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects$zCanada 606 $aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects$zGermany 606 $aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects$zJapan 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aProduction and Operations Management$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 606 $aPrices, Business Fluctuations, and Cycles: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Production$2imf 606 $aTrade: General$2imf 606 $aDemand and Supply of Labor: General$2imf 606 $aEconomic growth$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aBusiness cycles$2imf 606 $aProductivity$2imf 606 $aExports$2imf 606 $aLabor markets$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aIndustrial productivity$2imf 606 $aLabor market$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aProduction and Operations Management 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aWealth 615 7$aPrices, Business Fluctuations, and Cycles: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Production 615 7$aTrade: General 615 7$aDemand and Supply of Labor: General 615 7$aEconomic growth 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aBusiness cycles 615 7$aProductivity 615 7$aExports 615 7$aLabor markets 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aIndustrial productivity 615 7$aLabor market 700 $aKose$b Ayhan$01462080 701 $aBlankenau$b William$01462081 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788521003321 996 $aHow Different Is the Cyclical Behavior of Home Production Across Countries$93670932 997 $aUNINA
