Behavioural Microsimulation and Female Labour Supply in Luxembourg

Berger, Frédéric; Islam, Nizamul; Liégeois, Philippe - In: Brussels Economic Review 54 (2011) 4, pp. 389-420

In this study, the females’ labour supply is modelled as a discrete choice problem assuming that preference for leisure and consumption can be described by a quadratic utility function which allows for non-convexities in the budget set. As far as we know, such a model has never been developed...
