This paper studies stylized business cycle properties of household production in four industrialized countries (Canada, the United States, Germany, and Japan). We employ a dynamic small open economy business cycle model that incorporates a household production sector. We use the model to generate data on home output, hours worked in the home sector, and hours spent on leisure. We find that in each country, home output is more volatile than market output while home sector hours are about as volatile as those in the market sector. In each country, leisure is the least volatile series. Leisure hours and home hours are countercyclical in all countries, and home output is not highly correlated with market output. Home sector variables are generally less persistent than market variables, and cross-country correlations related to home production tend to be lower than those related to market production. These findings demonstrate that despite some well-known structural differences in labor markets, the cyclical features of home sector variables are similar across the countries we consider.

Pourquoi faire appel aux services de « Pizza express » le jeudi et préparer des confitures maison le dimanche ? Quelles tâches sont effectuées au sein de la famille et quelles autres sont confiées à l'extérieur ? Quel est le rôle des réseaux de parenté ? Comment s'organisent les relations entre un ménage et les personnes qu'il emploie ? Le sens commun distingue activités familiales et non familiales, ce qui est dans la famille et au dehors. Or une même activité peut fonder l'intimité ici ou correspondre à une prestation professionnalisée ailleurs. L'analyse de ces mouvements fait apparaître une réalité inhabituelle de la famille, non plus définie de manière naturaliste ou essentialiste, mais se construisant comme telle par la domestication de ses activités. Les résultats présentés sont aussi d'une brûlante actualité sociale. À l'heure où la classe politique découvre des « gisements d'emploi » dans les activités familiales susceptibles d'être déléguées, il n'est pas sans intérêt en effet de souligner l'importance des logiques domestiques qui constituent autant de freins à cette délégation. Fruit d'un travail collectif de deux ans, qui a réuni les meilleurs spécialistes, Faire ou faire-faire ? est à la fois un bilan des acquis du savoir et une mise en commun de questions pour structurer ce champ de recherche novateur.
