Four sets of econometric models are presented for time use decisions (durations and start times) regarding the basic, regular, and committed components (skeleton) of workers’ daily life: gap before work, work, gap after work, and night sleep. Two types of models are compared for each component: multilevel linear models and continuous-time hazard models. The multilevel models consider three-level random effects (temporal, personal, and household) and the hazard models consider individual-based unobserved heterogeneity. On the basis of performance in fitting observed data, hazard models are selected for the first three components, and a multilevel model is selected for the last component. For parametric hazard models, the Gompertz distribution shows promising performance in fitting activity data. The models are estimated by using 2002–2003 Toronto [Canada] Computerized Household Activity Scheduling Elicitor data.
