| Abstract: | This paper expands the standard analysis of female labour supply to permit preference heterogeneity by using a finite mixture model. Using the extended model, the authors obtain theory consistent results whereas a traditional model produces a negative substitution effect. The authors use their model to illustrate the labor supply effects of a tax reform, corresponding to 1983-1992 changes in the Swedish income-tax schedule. |
