Changes in Relative Wages and Family Labor Supply
Devereux, Paul J.
Journal of Human Resources, v39 n3 p696 Sum 2004
Changes in the wages of husbands and wives are correlated and hence earning inequality is still growing. Family labor supply behavior determines how the change in an individual wage rate translates into family earnings changes. Results suggest that earnings of the wives of low income men have fallen if woman's labor supply did not respond to changes in husband's wages.
