Do labour supply and demand curves exist?
指出，支持劳动供给曲线和需求曲线存在的间接与经验证据要么不明确，要么令人怀疑其存在，因此基于这些曲线的正统劳动经济学模型缺乏经验支持。
The objective of this paper is to show that circumstantial and empirical evidence for the existence of labour supply and demand curves is at best inconclusive and at worst casts doubt on their existence. Because virtually all orthodox models of labour markets, simple and complex, are built upon the foundation stones of labour supply and demand curves, these models lack empirically supported foundations. Orthodox labour economists must, therefore, either provide stronger evidence or stop using labour supply and demand curves as the foundation stones of their models. The conclusion discusses implications for future orthodox and heterodox labour economics.
