| Abstract: | This study examines the role the well-documented part-time /full-time wage differential plays in determining labor supply by structurally incorporating that wage differential into the budget set that decision makers face. The incidence of a higher wage being paid to full-time workers and a lower wage being paid to part-time workers also provides a natural setting in which to explore the importance of tied wagehours offers in the estimation of labor supply. The discontinuity in the budget constraint generated by the part-time/ full-time wage differential introduces a degree of difficulty in the estimation procedure and raises some estimation issues previously not encountered in the nonlinear budget set literature. |
