The aggregate Frisch elasticity of labor supply has played a key role in business cycle analysis. This paper develops a … or paid wages are subject to an unanticipated temporary change, we can derive an analytical expression for the aggregate … Frisch elasticity and illustrate its main components: (i) the intensive and extensive adjustment of hours worked, (ii) the …

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 …

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 …
