Hours Restrictions and Labor Supply
The authors estimate a labor-supply model that permits hours restrictions of a simple but general form. Each individual chooses from among a finite set of jobs drawn at random f rom a market distribution, each offering a fixed quantity of hours. The polar cases of no constraints on hours worked and exogenous hours ar e nested within the general case. The authors' results are consistent with a substantial amount of rationing in the work hours of a sample of low-income men, most of whom are working less than they would like.
