LABOR SUPPLY IN THE EXTENDED HOUSEHOLD: ECONOMIES OF SCALE, SELF‐SELECTION, AND THE INTRAHOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES IN SOUTH AFRICA
研究了由两个家庭组成的扩展家庭如何通过规模经济、现金转移和育儿安排影响成员的工作激励，并用南非数据解释了扩展家庭与核心家庭在劳动参与率上的差异。
Abstract This article studies labor supply in the extended household (composed of two families living together). The extended household structure affects the incentives to work of household members for at least three reasons: economies of scale, cash transfers between the families living in the extended household, and easier childcare arrangements. We develop a structural model incorporating these components and taking into account the self‐selection process into extended households. We then estimate this model with South African data and provide an explanation for the differences in participation rates between nuclear and extended households.
