Empirical Applications to Labor Supply : Lecture 4
Difference-in differences strategies are simple panel data methods applied to sets of group means in cases when certain groups are exposed to the causing variable of interest and others are not. The approach is well suited to estimating the effect of sharp changes in the economic environment or changes in government policy when a suitable control group can be found. We’ll consider the Diff-indi...
متن کاملSingle Women's Labor Supply Elasticities: Trends and Policy Implications
This paper uses CPS data to examine changes in single women’s labor supply elasticities in recent decades. Specifically, the authors investigate trends in how single women’s hours of work and labor force participation rates responded to both wages and income over the years 1979–2003. Results from the base specification suggest that over the observation period, hours wage elasticities decreased ...
متن کاملLabor supply shocks and unemployment persistence An empirical analysis of labor market dynamics in The Netherlands
Our small empirical stock-flow model for the Dutch economy, which endogenizes the adjustment dynamics to (un)employment search equilibria, identifies two mechanisms that caused persistence in labor market adjustments: (i) job competition from non-participants, and (ii) asymmetric adjustments to cyclical shocks. At the core of the model is an estimated matching function. Using Dutch flow data fo...
متن کاملRelationship between Consumption, Labor Supply and Fertility - Evidence from Japan
We present an alternative explanation of the positive relationship between total fertility rate (TFR) and female labor participation rate (FLPR) observed in recent cross section of OECD countries. We first use a simple model of consumer behavior where consumption good is indexed by quality, both consumption and child rearing require time and a physical good as inputs. The model predicts that wh...

Female Labor Supply and Divorce: New Evidence from Ireland If participation in the labor market helps to secure women’s outside options in the case of divorce/separation, an increase in the perceived risk of marital dissolution may accelerate the increase in female labor supply. This simple prediction has been tested in the literature using time and/or spatial variation in divorce legislation (...
