Structural Models of Family Labor Supply: A Discrete Choice Approach
构建了一个静态新古典结构模型，用离散选择方法解释荷兰双成人家庭中夫妻双方的劳动供给行为，并考虑了税收福利制度、工时限制和未观测工资等因素。
A static neoclassical structural model is presented explaining labor supply of both spouses in [two-adult] households [in the Netherlands]. Family preferences are described with a direct translog utility function with the husbands leisure the wifes leisure and family income as its arguments. We assume that the choice set of each family is finite. Account is taken of the Dutch tax and benefits system. We allow for hours restrictions and random preferences and account for unobserved wages of nonworkers. The models are estimated using smooth simulated maximum likelihood. Results based upon Dutch cross-section data from 1987 are illustrated by confidence intervals for elasticities and by several policy simulations. (EXCERPT)
