RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Television and the Labor Supply: Evidence from the Digital Television Transition in the UK JF Journal of Human Resources JO J Hum Resour FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 0221-11468R2 DO 10.3368/jhr.0221-11468R2 A1 Nieto, Adrián YR 2023 UL http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/early/2023/02/01/jhr.0221-11468R2.abstract AB I exploit variation in the date of transition from analogue to digital television signal in the UK across more than 40,000 geographical units to investigate the causal impact of television on employment. Using an event study model, I find that the digital transition increases employment probabilities. The impact is driven by mothers, primarily through an increase in part-time employment. I also show that the digital transition keeps children busy by increasing their TV viewing time and reduces the number of hours mothers spend on housework, as well as their reported family burdens.
