We estimate Frisch elasticity in a labor market with high job turnover. In a context where only around 18% of the employed labor force has formal and stable jobs, we perform a fixed effects estimation as proposed by MaCurdy (1981) with a Heckman correction for selection into unemployment. We...

While the gig economy has been growing rapidly, evidence on its implications for the labor force remains sparse. This paper shows that gig work can buffer income losses arising from unemployment shocks. Matching a large sample of administrative employment data with information on platform entry,...

We present a model of the time-allocation decision of spouses in order to study the role of heterogeneity in preferences and wages for couples' labor supply. Spouses differ in their tastes for market consumption and non-market goods and activities, and also in their offered or earned wages. They...

We design a model-based field experiment to estimate the nature and magnitude of workers' social preferences towards … are insensitive to the precise return to the employer. Turning to reciprocity, we find little evidence of a response to … anything, positive reciprocity in response to monetary 'gifts' may be larger than negative reciprocity. We revisit the results …
