This article investigates the time to first birth, treating coresidence with husband's parents and labor supply as endogenous and using representative data on Taiwanese married women born during 1933-1968. We use a full-information maximum likelihood estimator for a duration model with endogenous binary variables. Results controlling for endogeneity suggest that both coresidence and working are associated with a delay in childbearing, reversing the effect of coresidence on the timing of first birth but not that of working. Women in earlier cohorts tend to choose coresidency and not working, and an increasing number of women from later cohorts choose to do both or to work only.
本文考察了初育时间，将与丈夫父母同住和劳动力供给视为内生变量，并使用了 1933 年至 1968 年间出生的台湾已婚女性的代表性数据。我们使用全信息极大似然估计法对一个具有内生二元变量的持续时间模型进行了估计。控制了内生性的结果表明，与丈夫父母同住和工作都与生育延迟有关，这扭转了与初育时间有关的与丈夫父母同住的影响，但没有扭转工作的影响。较早出生队列的女性往往选择与丈夫父母同住而不工作，而越来越多的来自较晚出生队列的女性选择两者都做或只工作。
