Econometric analysis of labor supply in a life cycle context with uncertainty
(Discussion Papers;No. 21, Working paper, 1987)The paper considers a recent econometric approach for analysing labor supply in a life cycle context. The model we present extends MaCurdy's (1982) model in that the wage rate is assumed to depend on previous labor market ... -

Macroeconomic shocks and the probability of being employed

Stochastic properties and functional forms in life cycle : models for transitions into and out of employment
(Discussion Papers;No. 24, Working paper, 1987)The paper discusses a justification for a particular econometric framework for analysing transitions into and out of employment in an intertemporal context with uncertainty. The analysis extends the models found in the ... -
A typology of work-family arrangements among dual-earner couples in Norway
(Discussion Papers;636, Working paper, 2010)An important aim of Norwegian work-family policies is to promote a dual-earner, equal-sharing family model, but we do not really know how common this family type is. By means of a multinomial latent-class model we develop ... -

What makes full-time employed women satisfied with their working hours?
(Discussion Papers;632, Working paper, 2010)In spite of extended parental leaves, tremendous improvement in day-care availability, and a cultural climate that is supportive of women's full-time work, Norwegian women still have one of the highest female part-time ... -
Working hours in dual-earner couples: Does one partner work less when the other works more?
