Does education affect leisure-time reading? Evidence from time use survey
Description
Utilizing the data from Turkish Time Use Survey and exploiting Turkish compulsory schooling reform as a source of exogenous variation in education, this paper shows that education reduces employed men's leisure-time reading. For women, on the other hand, we do not find any causal impact of increased education on time spent in reading. We conclude that education may affect men's reading habits by altering preferences towards other leisure activities.
