“…This hypothesis was used by Mincer (1962) in his classic study of the labour force participation pattern of married women. This theoretical framework is implied in the studies of the labour market behaviour of the rural Africans by Dean (1966); and Miracle and Fettor (1970); as well as in the models of Bell (1972);and Todaro (1969). Also see Gulliver (1955); Spiegal (1979); Williams (1971, pp.…”

“…At times the concept of the levels of labour supply has been mixed with the concept of the elasticity of supply. Miracle [1976] and Miracle and Fetter [1970], for example, provide evidence on the low effective wage in the mining sector, after accounting for poor conditions and migration costs, but do little to relate this to the labour supply response to changes in the wage rate. Similarly, Arrighi's argument -that the relative 'effort price of cash income' through working in the mines was high -explains the low level of employment, but alone does not explain the low elasticity of labour supply.…”

“…ficación de este comportamiento como anormal (Rottenberg, 1952;Miracle y Fetter, 1970;Myint, 1971, y Sharif, 1991b, y se han elaborado estudios teóricos que lo consideran una manifestación de la penuria económica (Barzel y McDonald, 1973;McGregor, 1990, y Sharif, 1991ay 1991b, análisis a los que no se ha prestado suficiente atención en los estudios de economía del trabajo, donde sigue predominando la hipótesis del comportamiento guiado por una mentalidad anormal. La incapacidad de los analistas para reconocer la racionalidad del comportamiento de la oferta en forma de curva de pendiente negativa de los trabajadores pobres podría deberse a dos ideas erróneas: la primera guarda relación con la noción de subsistencia y la segunda con la de salario de reserva.…”
