Abstract

This Research Review surveys the main contribution to labor supply decisions within the family. It covers both theory, from the initial ‘unitary’ model that postulates that the family behaves as a single decision maker, to modern ‘collective’ approaches that concentrates on differences in preferences and power relationships and empirical applications. A special emphasis is placed on dynamic approaches, in particular issues related to intra-household commitment, and on policy implications.
