Labor Supply and Child Status Effects on Household Demands
利用英国和加拿大数据，发现家庭商品需求与劳动力供给不可分离，并基于加拿大数据揭示了不同工作状态和子女状况家庭的支出模式差异。
This study draws attention to empirical evidence for the United Kingdom and Canada rejecting the separability of household commodity demands from labor supply. As might be anticipated on the basis of these rejections, using Canadian data, we find clear patterns in the average expenditure shares for husband-wife families classified by whether both spouses, only the man, only the woman, or neither worked. The patterns remain even when the families are further categorized by child-status and by family income. A number of implications of these findings are considered.
