Abstract

This study addresses the issue of the sensitivity of female labour supply with respect to the adopted functional specifications. Italian and British data drawn from Bank of Italy and Family Expenditure Surveys have been used, and estimation of labour supply has concerned both married and unmarried women. Direction of both income and wage effects proved to be robust throughout the different sub-samples and specifications. This result can be interpreted as a general consistency of the labour supply results once the statistical assumptions have been validated.
