We estimate a multi-sector model of nursing qualification holders' labour supply in different occupations. A structural approach allows us to model the labour force participation decision, the occupational and shift-type choice, and the decision about hours worked as a joint outcome following from maximising a utility function. Disutility from work is allowed to vary by occupation and also by shift type in the utility function. Our results suggest that average wage elasticities might be higher than previous research has found. This is mainly due to the effect of wages on the decision to enter or exit the profession, which was not included in the previous literature, rather than from its effect on increased working hours for those who already work in the profession.
我们估计了一个关于不同职业中护理资格持有者劳动力供给的多部门模型。一种结构化方法使我们能够将劳动力参与决策、职业和轮班类型选择以及工作时长决策建模为最大化效用函数后的联合结果。工作负效用在效用函数中允许因职业和轮班类型而异。我们的结果表明，平均工资弹性可能高于先前研究所发现的。这主要是由于工资对进入或退出该职业决策的影响，而先前文献中未包含这一影响，而非工资对已从事该职业者增加工作时长的影响。
