The Frisch elasticity of labor supply can be estimated by regressing hours worked on the hourly wage rate, controlling … consumption. We develop an improved estimation approach that eliminates this bias by exploiting information on the composition of …

Traditionally, labor supply data do not include much information on hours and wages in secondary job or overtime work. In this paper, we estimate labor supply models based on survey information on hours and wages in overtime work and second job which is merged to detailed register information on...

The labor-supply elasticity is a central element in many macroeconomic models. We argue that assumptions underlying … previous econometric estimates of the intertemporal labor supply elasticity are inconsistent with incomplete markets economies …. In particular, if the econometrician ignores borrowing constraints, the elasticity will be biased downwards. Within our …

In the United States, the employment rate is nearly flat across wealth quintiles with the exception of the first quintile. Correlations between wealth and employment are close to zero or moderately positive. However, incomplete markets models with a standard utility function counterfactually...
