Labor supply as a discrete choice among latent jobs. Unobserved heterogeneity and identification

Means-testing the child benefit
(Discussion Papers;No. 262, Working paper, 1999)Improving the distributional impact of transfers may be costly if it reduces labour supply. In this paper we show how effects of changes in the design of the child benefit programme can be examined by deriving information ... -
Mobilising female labour market reserves: What promotes women’s transitions from part-time to full-time work?
(Discussion Papers; No. 658, Working paper, 2011)Considering the high female part-time rates in Norway, one may envisage a sizeable additional labour supply if more part-time working women would switch to full time. In view of an ageing population and increased demand ... -
Modeling the choice of working when the set of job opportunities is latent
(Discussion Papers;No. 265, Working paper, 2000)In this paper we analyze the decision of "working" versus "not working" within a discrete choice framework, where number of available jobs is confined and related to individual characteristics. In this way the market ... -

Population ageing and fiscal sustainability : an integrated micro-macro analysis of required tax changes

Sectoral labor supply, choice restrictions and functionalform
(Discussion Papers;No. 388, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: In this paper we discuss a general framework for analyzing labor supply behavior in the presence of complicated budget- and quantity constraints of which some are unobserved. The individual’s labor supply ... -
Simulating labor supply behavior when workers have preferences for job opportunities and face nonlinear budget constraints
(Discussion Papers;No. 488, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: This paper analyzes the properties of a particular sectoral labor supply model developed in Dagsvik and Strøm (2006). The model is estimated on labor supply data for married women in Norway 1994. In this model, ... -

The Social cost of government spending in an economy with large tax distortions. A CGE decomposition for Norway

Theoretical and practical arguments for modeling labor supply as a choice among latent jobs
(Discussion papers;692, Working paper, 2012-06)Models of labor supply derived from stochastic utility representations and discretized sets of feasible hours of work have gained popularity because they are more practical than standard approaches based on marginal calculus. ... -
