Profiles of Fertility, Labour Supply and Wages of Married Women: A Complete Life-Cycle Model

Robert Moffitt

The Review of Economic Studies, 1984, vol. 51, issue 2, 263-278

Abstract: This paper is an econometric examination of female fertility and labour-supply decisions. Based upon utility-maximizing choice, fertility and labour-supply demand functions are specified and estimated jointly with a wage-accumulation equation. A main contribution of the paper is the demonstration of a maximum-likelihood estimation method which avoids the main selectivity-bias problems in this area.
