A Multiple Equation Family Model Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1976 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Children; Fertility; Simultaneity; Wives, Work This paper presents a multiple equation model of labor market demand for mother's time, mother's supply of time to the market, family fertility, and child quality. Disaggregate data are used to obtain estimates of the relationship between the wife's market wage rate and her investment in human capital; the effect of market wage, family income, and fertility on years of post-school labor supply; the family's demand for number and quality of children; and the interaction between child quality demanded and the number of children. The econometric technique used is designed to avoid simultaneous equation bias, particularly in estimates of wage and fertility effects on labor supply and price and income parameters of the fertility demand equation. |
