This paper deals with discrete labour supply decisions of different groups of persons in response to a change in net wage rates. The centrepiece of this approach is individuals' switching between working time categories, while facing switching costs that arise when people expand or reduce...

previous studies, ignoring an individual's time spent on home production when estimating the Frisch elasticity of labor supply … accounting all factors related to home production, I find that the "micro" Frisch elasticity is about 0.4 and the "macro" Frisch … elasticity, which accounts for extensive margin adjustments, is about 0.9. If I only account for an individual's own home …

Traditionally, labour supply data do not include much information on hours and wages in secondary job or overtime work …. In this paper, we estimate labour supply models based on survey information on hours and wages in overtime work and … second job wages. However, when the model allows for stigmatization effects and unobserved fixed costs of work in second job …

The simulations of tax-benefit reforms with labour supply models often implicitly assume perfectly elastic labour demand, an assumption that may lead to unrealistic results. In this study we attempt to address this limitation and show how the interaction between labour supply and labour demand...
