  3. 22. Labour Supply Decisions of Stockholm Taxicab Drivers

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Joel Wållgren; [2016]
    Keywords : Labour supply; Reference-dependence theory; Neoclassical theory; Taxicab drivers; panel data analysis;

    Abstract : In this paper, panel data on hours worked and wage rates of taxicab drivers in the city of Stockholm are used to analyse whether reference-dependent preferences play a significant role governing labour supply decisions. The results suggest that only a small fraction of wage variation (about 1/5) is unanticipated implying that reference-dependence (which is relevant only in response to unanticipated variation in the wage rate) plays a limited role determining labour supply decisions.

    Keywords : deformable terrain model; real-time simulations;

    Abstract : Achieving realistic simulations of terrain vehicles in their work environment does not only require a careful model of the vehicle itself but the vehicle's interactions with the surroundings are equally important. For off-road ground vehicles the terrain will heavily affect the behaviour of the vehicle and thus puts great demands on the terrain model. READ MORE
