This paper examines household fertility and female labor supply over the life cycle.
The authors investigate ho w maternal time and market inputs, and benefits children
yield their parents, vary with their ages and influence female labor supply and c
ontraceptive behavior. Their econometric framework combines a female labor-supply
model and a contraceptive choice index function and allo ws conceptions not to be
perfectly controllable. Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, they estimate
these equations and tes t alternative specifications. The findings suggest that parents
canno t perfectly control conceptions and variations in child care costs af fect the
spacing of births. Copyright 1988 by The Econometric Society.
