Dynamics of female labor force participation in France
2012
This paper formulates and estimates a structural intertemporal model of labor force participation. Relying on theoretical characterizations derived from an economic model of lifetime behavior, we estimate a dynamic probit model with correlated random effects using longitudinal data to allow for a dynamic structure. The model is applied to a panel of married women drawn from the 1997--2002 French Labor Force surveys in order to represent their participation behavior. It is estimated by maximum simulated likelihood. Our results show that women's decisions to go out to work are characterized by significant state dependence, unobserved heterogeneity, and negative serial correlation in the trans…
