Female Labour Supply and On-the-Job Search: An Empirical Model Estimated Using Complementary Data Sets
构建了一个与在职搜寻一致的劳动力供给实证模型，利用英国家庭支出调查和劳动力调查两个互补数据集进行估计，发现搜寻行为对工作时间有直接负效应，而工资对工作时间有强正效应。
We develop an empirical model of labour supply that is consistent with on-the-job search and which is identified and estimated by combining two data sets: the U.K. Family Expenditure Survey which contains information on income and expenditure and the U.K. Labour Force Survey, which has data on hours and job search behaviour. We provide statistical evidence on the compatibility of the two samples for the purposes of estimating our model. We find that search has a direct negative effect on hours of work and we establish a strong positive effect of wages on hours.
