Women's Labor Supply and Marital Choice
假设时间价值随婚姻或婚姻市场环境变化，进而影响女性劳动参与。使用以色列已婚女性样本，发现婚姻市场看重的妻子特质与较低劳动参与相关，而丈夫特质与妻子较低参与率相关。
This paper hypothesizes that value of time, and consequently labor force participation, can vary with circumstances specific to a marriage or a marriage market. Wives' traits valued in the marriage market are expected to be associated with lower labor-force participation, whereas husbands' traits valued in the marriage market are expected to be associated with lower participation rates on the part of wives. Evidence for these hypotheses is found on the basis of regressions of labor-force participation for a sample of Israeli married women. Inclusion of traits valued in the marriage market and marital sorting patterns increases the explanatory power of the regressions. Copyright 1988 by University of Chicago Press.
