Abstract
-
This Study presents a framework for analyzing the labor supply in Thailand. Data used are for males who work, and came from Thai National Statistical Office Socioeconomic Survey, 1975-76. By estimating the determinants of the first-job employment and moonlighting models, we are able to show the effect of years of schooling, work experience, family status, subregional factors, and occupational and work type.;In the analysis, special attention is given to the measurement of two types of structureal state dependence, first-job and moonlighting models. Results suggest that the gross wage elasticity of first job labor supply has a positive sign. In contrast, the gross wage elasticity of the moonlighting labor supply has a negative effect. One possible reason for this difference concerns the nature of underemployed and inadequate income as characteristics of people. Whether or not these first-job and moonlighting labor supplies have opposite signs for the wage elasticity depends on the negative wage elasticity of the second-job labor supply and the absolute value of the second-job wage elasticity is greater than the wage elasticity of the first-job labor supply multiplied by the time sharing ratio.
