我们采用美国和以色列家庭的时间和商品支出数据，生成一组详尽的家庭使用它们生产/消费的商品，并计算它们的相对商品强度。休闲活动都是相对时间密集型的，健康、旅行和住宿则是相对商品密集型的。我们展示了教育和年龄如何改变家庭生产的商品密集度。这种核算的结果可以作为指导：了解商品和所得税如何相互作用，影响福利;扩大商品的国际流动的决定因素的概念;产生商业周期和内生增长的模型，包括商品和时间消费的相互作用;并获得更好的福利分配措施。
We take U.S. and Israeli household data on expenditures of time and goods, generate an exhaustive set of commodities that households produce/consume using them, and calculate their relative goods intensities. Leisure activities are uniformly relatively time intensive, health, travel and lodging relatively goods intensive. We demonstrate how education and age alter the goods intensity of household production. The results of this accounting can be used as guides to: understanding how goods and income taxation interact to affect welfare; expanding notions of the determinants of international flows of goods; generating models of business cycles and endogenous growth to include interactions of goods and time consumption; and obtaining better measures of the distribution of well being.
