A Dynamic Model of Teacher Labor Supply
利用纵向调查数据，分析持证中小学教师劳动力供给决策，发现教师参与率随时间显著下降，并探讨婚姻和生育变量对下降的影响，以及不同能力教师对工资增长的反应。
The labor supply decisions of certified elementary and high school teachers are examined using data from a general longitudinal survey. A significant decrease in the teaching participation rate takes place over time after teacher certification. Previously unavailable marital and fertility variables provide new insight into reasons for this decrease. Descriptive statistics indicate that high-ability teachers choose to teach a smaller proportion of time than other teachers. A dynamic, discrete-choice model, which accommodates Serial Correlation in the wage process for teachers, is used to analyze responsiveness of the overall sample and different types of teachers to two potential types of wage increases.
