Cain, Glen G. – Journal of Human Resources, 1974

Watts, Harold W.; And Others – Journal of Human Resources, 1974
The labor-supply or work-effort response of male heads of families eligible for or receiving subsidies such as negative income tax (Graduated Work Incentive Experiment-New Jersey, Pennsylvania) revealed no sharp disincentive for male family heads. Any disincentive reflected was concentrated among the poorest stratum. (EA)

Hollister, Robinson G. – Journal of Human Resources, 1974
The labor-supply or work-effort response of the family unit of families eligible for or receiving subsidies such as negative income tax (Graduated Work Incentive Experiment-New Jersey, Pennsylvania) was analyzed by the measures of earnings and family hours worked. A significant negative differential was found for whites and Spanish-speaking. (EA)

Martin, Donald L. – Journal of Human Resources, 1975
The paper describes the labor supply effects of changes in the rate of interest on wage rates paid in generalized training occupations. The evidence appears to be consistent with the hypothesis that the rate of interest is a determinant of labor supply and is positively related to occupational wage rates. (Author)

Smith, James P. – Journal of Human Resources, 1975
The model deals with channels through which income transfer programs are likely to affect working hours of family members and a method of estimating the labor-supply reactions to income maintenance programs. Labor-supply effects are functions of the duration of a family's participation and the relevant importance of male market investment.…
