Seasonal Adjustment in a Market for Female Agricultural Workers
利用智利面板数据，估计了女性临时农业劳动力参与和日收入模型，发现季节性工资变动显著影响劳动参与，且女性参与弹性高于男性，但淡季仍存在大量公开失业。
This article explores seasonal adjustment in the market for temporary agricultural labor. We estimate a model of participation allowing for unobserved heterogeneity and endogeneity/selection bias using daily observations from Chilean panel data, and a model of daily earnings. Results indicate that seasonal wage variation is an important aspect of labor‐market adjustment, contributing to a large change in labor force participation. The labor force participation rate of women is significantly more elastic to changes in the expected wage than is that for men. Nonetheless, we find evidence of substantial open unemployment during the slack season, especially for females, probably due to frictional and efficiency wage effects.
