An Indirect Test of Complementarity in a Family Labor Supply Model Econometrica 44,4 (July 1976): 651-669.

The author derives an indirect test of net complementarity in a family labor supply model. The results show that the sign of the husband's gross labor supply wage parameter will differ according to whether the wife works, and that the difference indicates the sign of the compensated cross-price effect. The results also show that for older persons, the nonmarket time of the husband and the nonmarket time of the wife are complementary in consumption. Finally, evidence shows that an aggregation bias may occur in estimating labor supply functions for married men. |
