dc.description.abstract | The remainder of the present work is organised as follows: two theories of
consumption behaviour – the Life-Cycle Hypothesis and the Theory of Household
Production – are studied in the next chapter, in order to lay theoretical foundations for
the understanding of the empirical application of these theories. More precisely,
Chapter 3 describes the so-called Retirement-Consumption Puzzle, which arose from
the empirical testing of the Life-Cycle Hypothesis. One of the most recent explanatory
approaches to the solving of this puzzle is the Theory of Household Production. As
mentioned above, evidence for Germany is scarce. This constitutes the motivation for
the realisation of the empirical analysis presented in Chapter 4. Here, the time use for
food production at home, food consumption at home and food consumption away
from home is studied for German households. The German 2001/02 Time Use
Survey, which is described in the first part of Chapter 4, is the database employed.
Then, the extensive process of data preparation is explained in detail. Subsequently,
problems associated with the data and the solution of these is discussed. Herewith,
the data processing is concluded and a descriptive analysis of time use for food
production and consumption by various determinants is provided. It is followed by the
regression analyses which have the objective of providing an answer to the following
research question:
What impact does retirement have on the time use for food production at home,
food consumption at home and food consumption away from home of German
households?
The results are interpreted and discussed in the last section of Chapter 4. | de_DE |
