“…For example, workers may face restrictions on hours and days worked by employers (e.g. Ilmakunnas and Pudney, 1990;Dickens and Lundberg, 1993;Stewart and Swaffield, 1997;Euwals and van Soest, 1999;for Germany see e.g. Holst and Schupp, 1998;Wolf, 1998).…”

This series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science. Terms of use: Documents inThe decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP. There is no external referee process and papers are either accepted or rejected without revision. Papers appear in this series as works in progress and may also appear elsewhere. They often represent preliminary studies and are circulated to encourage discussion. Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be requested from the author directly. The data used in this paper was made available to us by the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (GSOEP) at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin).

LABOUR SUPPLY AND COMMUTING 02-10-2009Eva Gutiérrez-i-Puigarnau AbstractWe examine the effect of commuting on labour supply patterns. A labour supply model is introduced which shows that commuting distance increases daily workhours, whereas the effect on total labour supply is ambiguous. This paper addresses these issues empirically using the socio-economic panel data for Germany between 1997 and 2007. Endogeneity of commuting distance is accounted for by using employer-induced changes in commuting distance. In line with the theoretical model developed, we find that commuting distance has a slight positive effect on daily workhours. Further, we find a similar effect on weekly labour supply, but no effect on workdays. Distinguishing between males and females, it appears that the effects on labour supply are mainly through the behaviour of females, but the effects for females are still small.

“…Moreover, the restrictions in the Hausman model do not need to be imposed. Studies that use this approach are, amongst others, van Soest (1995); Euwals and van Soest (1999); Euwals (2001); Bonin et al (2002) and Bargain (2005).…”

SummaryThis paper performs a meta-analysis of empirical estimates of uncompensated labour supply elasticities. For the Netherlands, we find that an elasticity of 0.5 for women and 0.1 for men is a good reflection of what the literature reveals. The elasticity for men hardly differs between countries, but for women some cross-country variation is found. The increasing participation rate of women may lead to a somewhat lower elasticity in the future. Both the specification of the hours function and the estimation method are found to affect elasticity estimates.

“…In addition, it should be noted that male labour supply elasticity becomes even more insignificant when we use robust standard errors. However, the research literature typically reports larger values of the predicted elasticity for women than for men (see, for example, Blau & Kahn, 2005;Bonin, Kempe, & Schneider, 2002;Bourguignon & Magnac, 1990;Devereux, 2003;Eissa & Hoynes, 2004;Euwals & van Soest, 1999;Hausman, 1981;Hausman & Ruud, 1984).…”

Our article focuses on testing the intertemporal substitution hypothesis (ISH) that predicts a positive relationship between hours worked and transitory changes in wages for the owners of Belarusian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Our results demonstrate that Belarusian entrepreneurs are willing to work a fixed number of hours regardless of their businesses' performance. Additionally, it appears that females have larger labour supply elasticity than males (it should be noted that male labour supply elasticity becomes even more insignificant when we use robust standard errors). Our results are consistent with the similar findings in USA, Africa, UK and Poland, however, they cannot be generalised for larger companies, since the nature of ISH testing largely depends on the size of the company and its decision-making processes. Our findings suggest that the complicated business environment in Belarus (e.g. difficulties in establishing and running an enterprise, tight bureaucratic control and slow business dynamics) and worsening conditions of the Belarusian economy make small Belarusian entrepreneurs plan their time horizons in a uniquely short-sighted way.
