Labour market polarisation, job tasks and monopsony power

Bachmann, Ronald; Demir, Gökay; Frings, Hanna - 2020

Using a semi-structural approach based on a dynamic monopsony model, we examine to what extent workers performing different job tasks are exposed to different degrees of monopsony power, and whether these differences in monopsony power have changed over the last 30 years. We find that workers...

Commuting Time and Labour Supply : A Causal Effect?

Giménez, José Ignacio - 2011

We analyze the causal effect of the length of the worker's commute on worker's productivity, by examining whether commuting time has any effect on worker's labour market supply. Using the Spanish Time Use Survey 2002-03, our GMM/IV estimation yields a positive causal impact of commuting time on...

Intrahousehold Commitment and Intertemporal Labor Supply

Chiappori, Pierre-Andre - 2020

This paper studies household labor supply, within the context of an intertemporal collective model, and three prominent intrahousehold commitment regimes: full commitment, no commitment, and limited commitment. We propose a test that distinguishes among all three alternatives based on how...

Intertemporal Labor Supply and Intra-Household Commitment

Chiappori, Pierre-Andre - 2019

This paper adopts an intertemporal labor supply perspective to propose a test that allows us to distinguish between intra-household non-commitment, limited commitment, and full commitment. It investigates whether, after controling for current and future (expected) wages, past wage shocks have a...

Health Status and the Allocation of Time : Cross-Country Evidence from Europe

Giménez, José Ignacio - 2014

This paper analyzes the relationship between reported health status and time allocation decisions in six European countries. Using the Multinational Time Use Study, we find that a better perception of own health is associated with less time devoted to sleep, personal care, and non-market work,...

Intertemporal Labor Supply : A Household Collective Approach

Molina, Jose Alberto - 2018

This paper proposes an extension of the collective model for labor supply developed by Chiappori, Fortin and Lacroix (2002) to an intertemporal setting. We first develop a theoretical model to analyze the intra-household distribution of wealth in a multi-period framework, with a focus on labor...

Intra-Household Wealth and Welfare Inequality in the US : Estimations from a Collective Model of Labor Supply

Molina, Jose Alberto - 2018

This paper analyzes the intra-household distribution of wealth and welfare in the United States, within a theoretical framework based on a collective model of labor supply, where household decisions are Pareto efficient, and spouses negotiate a sharing rule for non-labor income. Using the...

Efficient Labor Supply for Latin Families : Is the Intra-Household Bargaining Power Relevant?

Campaña, Juan - 2018

This paper analyzes the efficient labor supply of male and female workers in Latin American countries employing the collective model framework (Chiappori et al., 2002). Using data from Time Use Surveys for Mexico (2009) and Colombia (2012), we find evidence of Pareto-efficient labor supply...
