Abstract

This presentation will highlight the importance of economic theory in guiding the empirical specification of the relationships between unpaid caregiving and LMOs. Specific attention is paid to caregiving threshold effects that are not predicted through traditional labour-leisure choice models. The use of kinks to underlying preferences for income and leisure generate the potential for threshold effects. This formulation ensures that: (1) there will be both kinks and discontinuities in the relationships between unpaid caregiving and LMOs; (2) that a set of predictable relationships hold between amount of caregiving at which the kinks and discontinuities occur; and (3) that the relationship between unpaid caregiving and LMOs will have a unique and predictable specification.
