Recreation travel time conditional on labour supply, work travel time and income

• An economic model is proposed in which individuals are assumed to choose recreation travel time conditional on work travel time, hours of work and income. Using Swedish data and a grouped regression model, work travel time is found to have a significant and negative effect on recreation travel time for both spouses in a household. Income has a negative and significant effect for males but the effect is insignificant for females. Labour supply is not found to have any significant effect.
