1/Public Policy and Governance
In 1981 Prof Grossbard wrote about how early controlled experiments done in the USA—the Negative Income Tax experiments—affected divorce and labor supply. This appeared in “A Theory of Divorce and Labor Supply” (with Michael C. Keeley), published as Chapter 10 in Shoshana Grossbard-Shechtman, On the Economics of Marriage, 1993, 2019. This chapter argues that income effects on labor supply and divorce need to be estimated jointly. When predicted divorce is included in equations estimating the association between labor supply and participation in a Negative Income Tax experiment a big gender gap in response to the experiment is revealed: 170 hours for husbands vs 279 hours for wives. A big contrast is also found between women predicted to stay married and those predicted to divorce: women predicted to stay married worked 766 hours less than women predicted to divorce. In contrast men did not differ significantly in their labor supply as a function of whether they were predicted to stay married or to divorce.
