- Title
Profiles of Fertility, Labour Supply and Wages of Married Women: A Complete Life-Cycle Model.
- Authors
Moffitt, Robert
- 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 selectivitybias problems in this area.
