Voluntary work and labour income

Bruna Bruno and Damiano Fiorillo ()

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The paper studies the effect of voluntary work on labour income for Italian employees. The Heckman and Instrumental Variables methods are used in order to control for self-selection bias of participation in labour market and endogeneity of volunteering. The results show that a wage premium of 3 - 4 percent of annual income emerges, when selection and endogeneity problems are taken into account
