Frisch elasticity. We estimate Frisch elasticity at around 0.38, which indicates fairly adjustable wages and little reaction …We estimate Frisch elasticity in a labor market with high job turnover. In a context where only around 18% of the … employed labor force has formal and stable jobs, we perform a fixed effects estimation as proposed by MaCurdy (1981) with a …

In order to learn more about the wage elasticity of the teacher supply in Switzerland, this paper estimates wages for …-1999. The data allows us to estimate the wage elasticity for entry wages of upper secondary school teachers. In the cases … examined, the wage differential is highly significant and shows a wage elasticity for the teacher supply of 0.12% to 0 …

Traditionally, labour supply data do not include much information on hours and wages in secondary job or overtime work …. In this paper, we estimate labour supply models based on survey information on hours and wages in overtime work and … second job wages.

This paper focuses on the relationship between wages and supply of informal care to elderly parents. Unlike most of the … wave of the Health and Retirement Study, the results show that the wage elasticity of informal care supply is negative and … larger in magnitude than has been found previously. The lower bound of this elasticity is estimated to be -1.8 for males and …
