We present identification and estimation results for the collective model of labour supply in which there are discrete choices, censoring of hours and nonparticipation in employment. We derive the collective restrictions on labour supply functions and contrast them with restrictions implied by...

Obesity is significantly more prevalent among non-Hispanic African-American (henceforth "black") women than among non-Hispanic white American (henceforth "white") women. These differences have persisted without much alteration since the early 1970s, despite substantial increases in the rates of...
