Abstract
Costs ABSTRACT. - In this paper, we estimate a structural model of femal participation to the labour market when there exists participation costs which vary with labour supply, and when total household's labour income are taxed. Extending previous attempts (COGAN (1981), BOURGUIGNON, MAGNAC (1990)), we base the identification of participation costs on the observation of these commodity demands which are, partially, conditionned by labour activity. The model is identified because non working women's demands are not constrained by the activity decision. The model is estimated using the data of the French family expenditure survey "enquete Budget des Familles" made by INSEE in 1984/1985.
