我们使用英国面板数据来调查有关所需劳动力供应的主观数据是否可以提供有关未来劳动力市场行为的信息。我们发现，尽管男性和女性能够根据喜好调整工作时间，但雇主内部和雇主之间的工作变动极大地促进了这一点。我们还发现，工作时间限制是离开劳动力市场以及雇主内部和雇主之间流动的重要决定因素。我们的结论是，劳动力市场存在刚性，并且这些刚性损害了雇员的福利。
We use British panel data to investigate whether or not subjective data on desired labour supply provide information on future labour market behaviour. We find that, although men and women are able to adjust their work hours in line with preferences, this is greatly facilitated through within- and between-employer job changes. We also find that hours constraints are significant determinants of leaving the labour market and within- and between-employer mobility. We conclude that rigidities in the labour market exist and that these rigidities impair the welfare of employees.
