HE COMPONENS OF HE SJECIVE VLE OF RVEL IME SVINGS.

From he nerpreaon of he mulplers, hree oneps of me value ere defned by DeSerpa: a) he value of me as a resoure for he ndvdual (µ/), hh should no be msaken h he resoure value of me as defned by Hensher (1977); b) he value of savng me n he h avy ( /), and ) he value of assgnng me o he h avy ((δ/δ )/), hh s he value of he margnal uly of ha avy. I should be noed ha he las o defnons are avy spef hle he frs s no. lso, he value of assgnng me o an avy s he money value of he dre margnal uly. eyond hese defnons, one an add he objeve margnal pre of assgnng me o an avy hh, n he ase of ork, ould orrespond o mnus he margnal age (Gronau, 1986). Noe ha he value of savng me n he h avy ll be nl f he ndvdual volunarly assgns o more me han he requred mnmum (hh s ho DeSerpa defned a lesure avy). I ll be posve oherse. hs means ha he ndvdual ll be llng o pay o redue he me assgned o a eran avy only f he or she s onsraned o assgn more me o han desred. In order o esablsh a relaon beeen he dfferen oneps of me value, he frs order ondons orrespondng o problem (1) (5) an be manpulaed o oban a resul orgnally esablshed by Oor (1969) µ. (6) hs expresson shos ha he value of savng me n he h avy s equal o he value of dong somehng else mnus he value of assgnng me o ha parular avy (beause s 3

I s orh nong ha equaon (6) mproves over eker (1965), for hom me as valued a he age rae rrespeve of s assgnmen, and over Johnson (1966), for hom he value of me as µ/ for all aves. ne nerpreaon s obaned f e noe ha, for hose aves ha are assgned more me han he mnmum requred ( 0, a lesure avy), he value of assgnng me (δ/δ )/ happens o be equal o µ/ for all of hem. hs s he reason hy DeSerpa alled hs rao he value of lesure. On he oher hand, equaon (6) esablshes ha µ/ s also equal o he oal value of ork, hh has o omponens: he money reard (he age rae) and he value of s margnal uly (or value of me assgned o ork). herefore, he value of savng me n a onsraned avy s equal o he value of lesure (or ork) mnus s margnal uly value (presumably negave). If e onsder he parular ase of ravel, an be shon ha he value of savng ravel me, / or SVS, orresponds exaly o he rao beeen he margnal ules of me and os ha are esmaed as par of he modal uly n a dsree ravel hoe model. hs has been shon n dfferen forms by varous auhors (aes, 1987, afer ruong and Hensher, 1985; Jara- Díaz, 2000; Jara-Díaz, 2002). he essene of hs propery ress on he fa ha modal uly s a ondonal ndre uly funon of model (1) (5),.e. an ndre uly ha s ondonal on ravel os and ravel me. o be more spef, he avy-onsumpon model an be solved for and X as funons * and X* of uly parameers, he age rae, ravel os, ravel me and all exogenous varables. hese funons, hh are ondonal demands for goods and aves, an be replaed bak n uly obanng ( *, X * ), hh s he ondonal ndre uly funon usually alled modal uly ha ommands mode hoe. In he appendx e presen a general hough sraghforard proof of he equaly beeen / and he rao beeen margnal ules n mode hoe models, usng a orollary of he sensvy heorem from non-lnear programmng. lhough empral values for / an be esmaed usng he dsree ravel hoe frameork, so far no mehodology has been developed o esmae he dfferen elemens n equaon (6) from a model sysem.
