📢 iCEBDA Econometric seminar

Join us on June 10, 2026 at 12:00 noon (Moscow time, online via Zoom) for a research seminar by

🎓 Aleksey Osipov, Egor Kozlov & Anton Nikolaev (HSE University)

Talk: "Daily Routines and Subjective Well-Being: Cross-Cultural Evidence from Panel IV and DML"

While much of the literature focuses on how activities correlate with happiness, this seminar asks the reverse question: what do daily routines reveal about well-being and labor supply? Using data from Russia and multinational surveys, the speakers analyze sleep, physical activity, screen time, and social interaction. Their empirical strategy combines panel IV, marginal structural models, and DML-based robustness checks. Key findings show robust positive associations between sleep, social interaction, and well-being. Evidence from Russian and U.S. time-use data also links non-working time allocation to weekly working hours.
