dc.description.abstract | Abstract:
This paper analyzes the labor market participation behavior of retiring couples in Norway. To account
for the unobserved heterogeneity in decision-making structure within the household, I formulate a
mixed model by assuming there are two types of households, the cooperative type and the noncooperative
type. I assume that non-cooperative households behave according to a Stackelberg
game with the male as the leader, while cooperative households engage in a cooperative bargaining
process. The estimation results show that more than half of the households are of the noncooperative
type.
