Racial Differences in Family Labor Supply Presented: Boston, MA, Eastern Economics Association, 1983 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Eastern Economic Association Keyword(s): Earnings; Family Resources; Husbands, Income; Racial Differences; Wives Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study estimates the family labor supply model: annual labor supply for each spouse is a function of one's own and one's spouse's earned and unearned income. Labor supply is predicted for black and white wives and their husbands using tobit and OLS for the wives and OLS for the husbands. The labor supply model is fitted using data for l967 from the NLS of Mature Women. Wives reduced their labor supply in response to an increase in husband's wage for white but not black wives. Own earned income was more strongly positively related to labor supply for black than for white husbands. |
