This chapter surveys existing approaches to modeling labor supply and identifies important
gaps in the literature that could be addressed in future research. The discussion begins with …

The assumption behind discrete hours labour supply modelling is that utility‐maximising
individuals choose from a relatively small number of hours levels, rather than being able to …

I survey the male and female labor supply literatures, focusing on implications for effects of
wages and taxes. For males, I describe and contrast results from three basic types of model …

We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17
European countries and the United States using a harmonized empirical approach. We find …

A static neoclassical structural model is presented, explaining labor supply of both spouses
in two adults households. Family preferences are described with a direct translog utility …

In this study, we quantify the labour market effects of migration flows in OECD countries

Work on estimating the labor supply effects of high marginal tax rates in welfare programs
has been hindered by the difficulty of estimating the effects of participation in multiple …

What new tools and models are enriching labor economics?" Developments in Research
Methods and their Application"(volume 4A) summarizes recent advances in the ways …

This paper performs a meta-analysis of empirical estimates of uncompensated labour supply
elasticities. For the Netherlands, we find that an elasticity of 0.5 for women and 0.1 for men is …
