Implications of labor supply specifications in CGE models : a demonstration for employment of Palestinian labor in Israel and its impact on the West Bank economy
Agbahey, Johanes; Siddig, Khalid Hassan Ali; Grethe, Harald - 2020
Results of general equilibrium models are sensitive to model parameterization and specification. The role of macroeconomic closures and the effect of trade elasticities are documented in the literature, but there is no systematic analysis of the implications of different labor supply...

Risk Sharing Or Bargaining? The Impact of Spousal Labor Supply on Unemployment Duration
Liu, Jing - 2009
wage and unemployment duration. We consider a model of household job search in which the outcomes of bargaining are … unemployment duration: the more the husband earns, the longer the wife searches for a job; whereas the more the wife earns, the … sooner the husband finds a job. Secondly, an increase of $100 in unemployment insurance (UI) per month lowers employment rate …

Market Work, Home Production, Consumer Demand and Unemployment Among the Unskilled
Lührmann, Melanie; Weiss, Matthias - 2014
unskilled unemployment via consumer demand: longer work hours and higher labor force participation imply higher incomes and less … consumer demand toward unskill-intensive goods. Relative demand for unskilled labor rises and unemployment falls. Finally, we …

Revisiting the role of home production in life-cycle labor supply
Faberman, R. Jason - 2015
This paper examines the role of home production in estimating life-cycle labor supply. I show that, consistent with previous studies, ignoring an individual's time spent on home production when estimating the Frisch elasticity of labor supply biases its estimate downwards. I also show, however,...

Labor Supply, Home Production and Welfare Comparisons
Donni, Olivier - 2005
We consider the collective model of labor supply with marketable domestic production. We first show that, if domestic production is mistakenly ignored, the ?collective? indirect utilities that are retrieved from observed behavior will be unbiased if and only if the profit function is additive....

Household Labor Supply and Home Services in a General-Equilibrium Model with Heterogeneous Agents
Bredemeier, Christian; Jüßen, Falko - 2009
We propose a new explanation for differences and changes in labor supply by gender and marital status, and in particular for the increase in married women's labor supply over time. We argue that this increase as well as the relative constancy of other groups' hours are optimal reactions to...

The time and timing costs of market work, and their implications for retirement
Hamermesh, Daniel S. (contributor) - 2006
Retirement ages among older Americans have only recently begun to increase after a precipitous fifty-year decline. Early retirement may result from incentives provided by retirement systems; but it may also result from the rigidities imposed by market work schedules. Using the American Time Use...

On the importance of household production in collective models : evidence from U.S. data
Donni, Olivier; Matteazzi, Eleonora - 2010
The present paper develops a theoretical model of labor supply with domestic production. It is shown that the structural components of the model can be identified without a distribution factor, thereby generalizing the initial results of Apps and Rees (1997) and Chiappori (1997). The theoretical...

Optimal taxation with home production
Olovsson, Conny - 2014
Optimal taxes for Europe and the U.S. are derived in a realistically calibrated model in which agents buy consumption goods and services and use home capital and labor to produce household services. The optimal tax rate on services is substantially lower than the tax rate on goods. Specifically,...
