Modelling the Impact of Home and Market Productivities on Employment Status, Part-time and Full-time Wages, and Household Formation

澳大利亚是经合组织国家中兼职工人比例最高的国家之一。该项目旨在从理论和经验两方面调查全职/非全职工资差异以及就业状况和家庭组成的决定因素。这将在一个新的框架中完成，该框架结合了需求和供应方面的因素；明确允许在国内和市场生产中分配生产力；并允许通过投资人力资本来提高工作场所的生产率。这项研究将产生新的模型和实证结果，并有助于就这些重要问题进行严格、知情的辩论。

Australia has one of the highest proportions of part-time workers of OECD countries. The project aims to investigate, both theoretically and empirically, the determinants of full-time/part-time wage differentials, and of employment status and household formation. This will be done in a new framework that incorporates demand and supply side factors; that explicitly allows for a distribution of productivities across home and market production; and that allows for the augmentation of workplace productivity by investment in human capital. The study will produce new models and empirical results, and contribute to rigorous, informed debate on these important issues.
