The paper estimates labor supply equations for married women in Brazil, between 1992 and 1999, comparing three existing models, Stone-Geary, Heckman-MaCurdy and Blundell-Duncan-Meghir. An econometric method of pseudo panel is applied to repeated cross-sections, which allows the researcher to control for observed and unobserved characteristics of the individuals in the sample. The resulting elasticities are in the range of -0.213 to 0.050, depending on the model and specification chosen for labor supply.Downloads
