Replication package for "Not all leisure is created equal: Income-induced constraints on the enjoyment of leisure." This package uses American Time Use Survey data made publicly available by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at https://www.bls.gov/tus/data.htm (see README file for specific files used). We use this data to show that income enhances enjoyment during leisure activities. Our results also examine the mechanisms underlying this positive relationship.

The seasonally-adjusted national unemployment rate is measured on a monthly basis in the United States. In February 2025, the national unemployment rate was at 4.1 percent. Seasonal adjustment is a statistical method of removing the seasonal component of a time series that is used when analyzing non-seasonal trends. U.S. monthly unemployment rate According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics - the principle fact-finding agency for the U.S. Federal Government in labor economics and statistics - unemployment decreased dramatically between 2010 and 2019. This trend of decreasing unemployment followed after a high in 2010 resulting from the 2008 financial crisis. However, after a smaller financial crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment reached 8.1 percent in 2020. As the economy recovered, the unemployment rate fell to 5.3 in 2021, and fell even further in 2022. Additional statistics from the BLS paint an interesting picture of unemployment in the United States. In November 2023, the states with the highest (seasonally adjusted) unemployment rate were the Nevada and the District of Columbia. Unemployment was the lowest in Maryland, at 1.8 percent. Workers in the agricultural and related industries suffered the highest unemployment rate of any industry at seven percent in December 2023.

We investigate whether the price puzzle, found in previous empirical studies, consists of model misspecification or a feature of the economy. To analyze the anomaly, we estimate the central bank's reaction function through the standard VAR and FAVAR approaches, spanning the period from July 2003 to June 2018. The results suggest that the price puzzle stands out as a feature of the economy only at intervals of activity slowdown. The data consists of the 71 indicators potentially used by the Brazilian Central Bank in formulating monetary policy. Note that “SA” stands for series seasonally adjusted by the source and “*” denotes series seasonally adjusted by the Census X-13 ARIMA methodology (US Census Bureau). The transformation codes are: 1-No transformation; 2-First difference; 3-Logarithm; and 4-First difference of logarithm. The "S/F" stands for “Slow-moving” (S) and “Fast-moving” (F). The sources of the time series used in our study are as follows: the Brazilian Steel Institute (IBS), the State System of Data Analysis, Research and Unemployment Foundation (SEADE), the Center Foundation for Foreign Trade Studies (FUNCEX), the Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Market Institutions (ANBIMA), the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA), the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), the Brazilian Central Bank (BCB), the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the Brazilian Ministry of Labor (ML), the Brazilian Foreign Trade Secretary (FTS), the Brazilian stock market exchange (BMF Bovespa), the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV, Brazilian economic research institution), the JP Morgan, the Investing (US-based financial investment company), the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Federal Reserve Bank (FED), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Importantly, the CDI is the average interest rate, indicative against which a representative group of banks makes unsecured loans to each other in the Brazilian financial market. The swap DI x Fixed Interest Rate is floating for a fixed swap contract . The IPCA, IPC, and INPC are consumer price indexes with different building methodologies. The IPADI is a producer price index. The INCC measures the changes in prices of the construction sector. The IPCA index is composed of free and state-regulated prices. The formers are determined by market supply and demand and comprise the prices of food, beverage, housing, household items, clothing, personal expenses, and education (IPCA Free Prices). The IPCA Free Tradable Prices index is composed of prices of goods that have free prices and are internationally traded. The IPCA Core Prices index is a measure that aims to capture the price trend, excluding the disturbances caused by temporary shocks. The IGPDI and IGPOG are both hybrid price indexes with different methodological approaches.
