“…In the empirical analysis we will introduce three explanatory variables that often are found to be endogenous: the wage rate (Fair and Dominguez 1991;Schmidt 1993;Blundell et al 2003), the unemployment rate (Fleisher and Rhodes 1976), and the birth rate (Schultz 1981;Pott-Buter 1993). Endogeneity requires instrumental variable methods like two-stage least squares (2SLS) to obtain consistent parameter estimates.…”

“…Unemployment conditions in other regions can thus serve as an impetus or deterrent to search or take a job elsewhere. We control for endogeneity of the unemployment rate since it is simultaneously determined with the participation rate (Fleisher & Rhodes, 1976). Whereas the effect of participation on unemployment should be positive ceteris paribus (if more people supply labour holding labour demand constant, the number of unemployed must increase), most studies have found that a negative effect dominates (Elhorst, 2003).…”

“…1 For a récent cross-sectional study of married female labour force participation in Canada see GUNDERSON (1977). FLEISHER and RHODES (1976) is a study of crosssection data for the U.S. that provides a reconciliation of différences in cross-sectional and time séries findings on labour force participation. ALBAN and JACKSON (1976, 416) hâve similarly commented upon the need for time séries data classified by marital status to improve upon the measurement of the cyclical sensitivity of the labour force participation of female workers.…”
