We examine the importance of possible non-random attrition to an econometric model of life cycle labor supply including joint nonlinear taxation of wage and interest incomes and latent heterogeneity.We use a Wald test comparing attriters to nonattriters and variable addition testing based on...

In the empirical literature on labour supply, several models are developed to incorporate constraints on working hours. These models do not address the question to which extent working hours are constrained within and between jobs. In this paper I investigate the effect of individual changes in...

Empirical implementation of labour supply theories is usually based on realized labour market behaviour. This requires strong assumptions about the impact of labour demand. A possibility to avoid these assumptions is to make use of subjective data on desired labour supply. In this paper we...

This paper studies the labour force participation dynamics of older couples in the United States.Longitudinal data from the five available waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is used to investigate if the dynamics introduced by considering both spouses' behavior provide additional...
