We develop a model with incomplete asset markets and household heterogeneity in market and home technologies and preferences to account for these labor market trends and assess their welfare consequences. Using micro data on expenditures and time use, we identify the sources of heterogeneity across households, document how these sources have changed over time, and perform counterfactual analyses. Given the observed increase in leisure expenditures relative to leisure time and the complementarity of these inputs in leisure technology, we infer a significant increase in the average productivity of time spent on leisure. The increasing productivity of leisure time generates significant welfare gains for the average household and moderates negative welfare effects from the rising dispersion of expenditures and time allocation across households."^^; "2019-09-20"; "2019-11-01T15:24:35.810476575+00:00"^^; "https://doi.org/10.21034/wp.763"; ; "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"; "2020-06-15T14:08:14.027174418+00:00"^^; "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"; "Research Paper"; "387", "91"; "Working paper (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
