Article Abstract:
A VAR identification scheme is proposed that distinguishes shifts of and movements along the labor demand schedule to identify labor-supply shocks. Labor supply-shifts account for about 30 percent of the variation in hours and about 15 percent of the output fluctuation at business cycle frequencies, as per VAR analysis of post-war US data.
