我们研究了英国夫妇是否增加劳动力供应，以缓冲失业带来的收入下降，比较了经济增长和经济衰退时期。我们考虑男性和女性的收入者和劳动力供给调整的各个方面。我们发现了劳动力供应反应的证据，但它们可以是消极的，也可以是积极的，特别是在广泛的利润率。在经济衰退期间，家庭的反应要么没有变化，要么夫妇增加了他们对劳动力市场的依恋，积极的反应更大，消极的反应更小。人们不会在失业之前做出反应，这表明失业是一个惊喜。
We examine whether couples in the UK increase labour supply to cushion the fall in earnings from a job loss, comparing periods of growth and recession. We consider both male and female earners and various dimensions of labour supply adjustment. We find evidence of labour supply reactions, but they can be negative as well as positive, particularly at the extensive margin. During the recession, household reactions are either unchanged or couples increase their labour market attachment, with bigger positive reactions and smaller negative ones. People do not react in advance of job losses, suggesting that unemployment is a surprise.
