Implications of his resulting theory of time allocation were not tested until much later when governments began to collect extensive data on how individuals utilized their time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTime Use in Economics\u003c\/em\u003e contains original research on new aspects of time use compiled by Daniel S. Hamermesh, a long-time path-breaking labor economist leader in analyzing time use data, and Solomon W. Polachek, a pioneer in gender-related labor market research.
