The decision to work by married immigrant women : the role of extended family households
Antecol, Heather (contributor); Bedard, Kelly (contributor) - 2003 - [Elektronische Ressource]

Bredemeier, Christian (contributor);  … - 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...

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...

Anderberg, Dan; Rainer, Helmut - 2011
A large fraction of domestically abused women report that their partners interfere with their participation in education and employment. As of yet, mainstream economics has not dealt in any systematic way with this phenomenon and its implications for welfare policy. This paper puts forward a...

Motivated by these observations, we develop a life-cycle model with heterogeneous agents, marriage and divorce and use it to … study the impact of two mechanisms on labor supply: (i) differences in marriage stability and (ii) differences in tax … systems, and as we replace the U.S. divorce and marriage rates with their European equivalents.

Why Do So Few Women Work in New York (And So Many in Minneapolis)? Labor Supply of Married Women across U.S. Cities
Black, Dan; Kolesnikova, Natalia; Taylor, Lowell J. - 2012
This paper documents a little-noticed feature of U.S. labor markets -- very large variation in the labor supply of married women across cities. We focus on cross-city differences in commuting times as a potential explanation for this variation. We start with a model in which commuting times...
