Testing Whether Intertemporal Labor Supply is Determined Between Jobs

Working Papers from California Irvine - School of Social Sciences

Abstract: The hypothesis that employers have an interest in the hours worked by their employees suggests that hours and wages are systematically related. Since employer interest may constrain employee hours of work, individuals realize their preferences for hours through their choices of jobs. An important implication of this hypothesis is that the intertemporal labor supply elasticity is manifested in labor supply responses to wage changes between jobs.
