Modelling and Empirical Evaluation of Labour Supply Behaviour (eBook, PDF)

Emphasis on Preference Formation, Job Characteristics and Hours Restrictions

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses new developments in the area of labour supply. Extensions of the neoclassical model are developed and estimated on Dutch data. Preference interdependence, habit formation, job characteristics and hours restrictions are the main issues.
