Nonparametric Analysis of Labour Supply with Demand-side Restrictions

This PhD project aims to apply and extend structural models of labour supply with demand-side restrictions. These demand restrictions manifest to workers as hours constraints or involuntary unemployment. By modelling the restrictions, we avoid bias in labour supply functions and labour supply elasticities, which is of great importance for ex ante (tax) policy analysis. The standard workhorse will be the random utility random opportunity model (Dagsvik, 1994) and the job offer model (Bloemen, 2000).
