abstract = {A 1996 change in shopping hours regulations in the Netherlands provides an opportunity to
study the effects of timing constraints on total time spent in shopping, working, and other
activities as well as the timing of these activities. We develop a simple structural model to
make predictions about the effects of imposition and relaxation of a timing constraint on time
use patterns, and utilize time diary data from 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2000 to examine time
use patterns by demographic group before and after the change. In addition to a change in
the timing of shopping, we find a non-negligible increase in the total time spent shopping.},
