Nurses' Labour Supply Elasticities : The Importance of Accounting for Extensive Margins
Broadway, Barbara - 2012
Many countries face a continuing shortage in nurses' labour supply. Previous research suggests that nurses respond only weakly to changes in wages. We estimate a multi-sector model of nursing qualification holders' labour supply in different occupations. A structural approach allows us to model...

Health of Elderly Parents, Their Children's Labor Supply, and the Role of Migrant Care Workers
Frimmel, Wolfgang; Halla, Martin; Paetzold, Jörg; … - 2021
We estimate the impact of parental health on adult children's labor market outcomes. We focus on health shocks which increase care dependency abruptly. Our estimation strategy exploits the variation in the timing of shocks across treated families. Empirical results based on Austrian...

The Wage Elasticity of Informal Care Supply : Evidence from the Health and Retirement Study
Nizalova, Olena Y. - 2010
wave of the Health and Retirement Study, the results show that the wage elasticity of informal care supply is negative and … larger in magnitude than has been found previously. The lower bound of this elasticity is estimated to be -1.8 for males and … -3.6 for females. Additional findings suggest that the wage elasticity of informal care supply differs by the type of …

Estimating the Wage Elasticity of Labour Supply to a Firm : What Evidence is There for Monopsony?
Booth, Alison L. - 2010
In this paper we estimate the elasticity of the labour supply to a firm, using data from the Household, Income and … Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. Estimation of this elasticity is of particular interest not only in its own … immediately losing their workforce. This is in contrast to the perfectly competitive extreme, in which the elasticity is infinite …

Labor Supply Elasticities in Europe and the US
Bargain, Olivier - 2011
Despite numerous studies on labor supply, the size of elasticities is rarely comparable across countries. In this paper, we suggest the first large-scale international comparison of elasticities, while netting out possible differences due to methods, data selection and the period of...

Comparing Labor Supply Elasticities in Europe and the US : New Results
Bargain, Olivier - 2012
We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17 European countries and the US, separately by gender and marital status. Measurement differences are netted out by using a harmonized empirical approach and comparable data sources. We find that own-wage...

Comparing Inequality Aversion Across Countries When Labor Supply Responses Differ
Bargain, Olivier - 2013
We analyze to which extent social inequality aversion differs across nations when controlling for actual country differences in labor supply responses. Towards this aim, we estimate labor supply elasticities at both extensive and intensive margins for 17 EU countries and the US. Using the same...

Aggregation and Labor Supply Elasticities
Kneip, Alois - 2013
The aggregate Frisch elasticity of labor supply has played a key role in business cycle analysis. This paper develops a … Frisch elasticity and illustrate its main components: (i) the intensive and extensive adjustment of hours worked, (ii) the … panel data model of individual hours worked. Our estimated aggregate Frisch elasticity varies between .63 and .70. These …
