Kooreman, Peter and Arie Kapteyn. 1990. "On the Empirical Implementation of Some Game Theoretic Models of Household Labor Supply." Journal of Human Resources 25(4):584-598.
This paper discusses some issues in the empirical implementation of game theoretic models of household labor supply. In particular we focus on the identification problems inherent in many of these models. As an illustration, we estimate a game theoretic model which uses data on preferred working hours as additional identifying information.
