摘要：The paper investigates older spouses’ individual and joint leisure time before and after retirement. To identifythe impact of retirement on individual and joint leisure time, we use a regression discontinuity approach with theofficial retirement age as the instrument. The sample consists of 55-74-year-old married or cohabiting men andwomen and data stem from the Danish Time-Use and Consumption Survey and administrative registers at StatisticsDenmark. We find that spouses’ simultaneous retirement has the same impact on joint leisure time as doesnon-simultaneous retirement. Further, there is no impact of a partner’s retirement on men and women’s ownleisure time. Joint and individual leisure time, however, increases when she retires, while his retirement has noimpact on the couple’s joint leisure time
