Selection criteria for a microeconometric model of labour supply
强调微观计量模型需兼顾灵活性与理论一致性，通过估计和检验已婚职业女性的劳动供给模型序列，说明检验理论和统计假设的重要性。
Abstract The wide variety of observed behaviour that is displayed in survey data suggests that microeconometric models should allow a reasonable degree of flexibility in specification. However, since these models are generally used for policy analysis they are required to satisfy some degree of theoretical consistency. This requirement has generally led to the adoption of rather simple ‘inflexible’ models based on additive preferences or linear labour supply responses. We estimate and test a sequence of models for the labour supply of married working women, emphasizing the importance of testing both the thecretical and statistical assumptions underlying the models.
