Abstract

In a recent article, Dionne and Eeckhoudt [1987] have shown that the concept of “proportional risk aversion” (presented in a 1984 paper by the same authors) is useful in studying the effect of increased wage rate uncertainty on labor supply either with or without taxation of labor income. One of the major conclusions of the analysis is precisely that “the effects under uncertainty critically depend upon the slope of the supply curve under certainty” (p. 354).
