In this paper, we deal with female labour supply in the collective framework. We study married couples and start from the empirical observation that the husband's labour supply is generally fixed at full-time. We then show that, in this case, structural elements of the decision process, such as...

This paper examines how Frisch labor supplies, and other structural components of the intertemporal model of labor supply, can be recovered from estimates obtained with the approach developed by Heckman and MaCurdy. -- labor supply ; Frisch ; life cycle ; identification

We adopt the collective approach to consumer behavior with egoistic agents, and assume that the household consumption is either private or public. We then show that (i) household demands have to satisfy testable constraints and (ii) some elements of the decision process can be retrieved from...
