Younghwan Song, assistant professor of economics, presented a paper titled “Working at Home: Perks or Toil?” at the International Association for Time-Use Research Conference in Halifax, Canada, in November.
More than 90 researchers from 24 countries attended the event. Using data from the 2001 Current Population Survey and the 2003 American Time Use Survey, Song's paper investigates determinants of the pay status and timing of work at home.
