Testing the Neoclassical Model of Family Labor Supply and Fertility
基于1981年泰国社会经济调查数据，检验新古典家庭模型中夫妻非劳动收入对劳动供给和生育影响的同质性假设，发现女性劳动供给和生育决策拒绝该假设，并处理了婚姻样本自选择问题。
The McElroy-Horney Nash-bargaining model of family demand behavior relaxed the restriction that nonearned income of husband and wife has the identical effect on family labor supply and commodity demands.This restriction of the neoclassical model of family behavior is tested for the determination of husband and wife labor supply and fertility based on the 1981 Socioeconomic Survey of Thailand.The neoclassical restriction is rejected for female labor supply and fertility.Another unexplored limitation of family demand studies, due to the sample self selection of intact marriages, is empirically treated through alternative estimation strategies.In this case, a more sharply focused theory of marital behavior is needed to identify family demand models.
