Labor Supply and Housing Demand for One- and Two-Earner Households

چکیده
The jointness of labor and housing decisions is explicitly modelled in a consumer demand framework. Behavior of seven demographic groups differentiated by marital status, employment status and the presence of children is estimated from a micro data set. Results indicate that (1) decisions regarding work hours and housing consumption are interdependent choices and (2) responses to market signals differ significantly by demographic group. Results are likely to be superior to single equation studies or studies based on aggregate data.
