Accounting for Labor Demand Effects in Structural Labor Supply Models
Accounting for Labor Demand Effects in Structural Labor Supply Models When assessing the effects of policy reforms on the labor market, most studies only focus on labor supply. The interaction of supply and demand side is not explicitly modeled, which might lead to biased estimates of potential labor market outcomes. This paper proposes a straightforward method to remedy this shortcoming. We us...
متن کاملFlexible Labor Supply Models
Flexible Labor Supply Models Discrete-choice models of labor supply have become very popular for ex ante evaluations of policy reforms as they easily account for non-convex budget sets. We test the constraints imposed in practice on these models and suggest a fully flexible model that significantly improves fit. JEL Classification: H31, J22
متن کاملStructural Labor Supply Models when Budget Constraints are Nonlinear
Despite the advantages of structural labor supply methods, many recent papers cite the arguments of MaCurdy et al. as a reason for avoiding structural methods, and instead use simple estimation methods such as differences in differences. This paper examines the role of economic assumptions in structural labor supply methods and how some of the assumptions may be relaxed. We first show the sourc...
متن کاملLocal Labor Demand and Child Labor
This paper uses micro data from the Brazilian PNAD between 1981 and 2002 to ascertain the role of local labor demand play in shaping work and schooling decisions of children aged 10-15. Using male adult employment by state and year as a proxy for labor demand, we find evidence that contrary to the widespread view that child labor is procyclical among young children (ages 1012) employment (schoo...
متن کاملSticky Wage Models and Labor Supply Constraints∗
In New Keynesian models with sticky wages, the quantity of labor is solely determined by the demand side. Unions with monopsony power set the wage above what it takes to make agents work. If wages are sticky, however, a change of circumstances may make the demand for labor higher than agents’ willingness to work. Because of the simplicity of log-linearization, the literature implicitly assumes ...
