Causal Inference through a Witness Protection Program (2014, methodology): “The data was discussed by Mroz (1987) and can be obtained from the R package AER (Kleiber and Zeileis, 2008).”
What Explains the Variation in Estimates of Labour Supply Elasticities? (2006, methodology): “The range for men is from -0.24 to 0.13, while for women it is from -0.19 to 2.79.4 The number of elasticities per study varies from one (Burtless and Hausman, 1978) to 25 (Mroz, 1987).”
Labour supply effects of a cash-for-care subsidy (2004, result): “If we compare the size of the effects, the simple DDD-estimates suggest that participation is reduced by approximately 4% and annual hours are reduced by approximately 3%. Although the difference is small, this result lends some support to the common assertion that participation responses are greate”
Welfare Reform in European Countries: A Microsimulation Analysis (2005, unknown): “Once labor supply is estimated conditional on labor force participation, it turns out that the female hours-of-work elasticity is close to that of males (Mroz, 1987; Triest, 1990).”
Gibbs sampling methods for Bayesian quantile regression (2011, methodology): “In this subsection, we examine the data set from Mroz [32] who carried out a systematic analysis of theoretical and statistical assumptions used in empirical models of female labour supply.”

Marginal Likelihood From the Metropolis–Hastings Output (2001, methodology): “The model we t utilizes an n = 200 observation data set from Mroz (1987) that deals with the factors that in uence participation of the female spouse in the labor market.”
Accept–reject Metropolis–Hastings sampling and marginal likelihood estimation (2005, methodology): “Our second application is based on a simple wage determination model using data from Mroz (1987) .”
Advances in explaining women's employment patterns (2012, background): “It provides a coherent framework of explanation as to why factors such as women’s family situation, their educational attainment, work experience and their spouse’s income can affect their employment decisions (e.g. Killingsworth & Heckman 1986; Mroz 1987; Blundell and MaCurdy 1999).”
Evaluation of Four Tax Reforms in the United States: Labor Supply and Welfare Effects for Single Mothers (2008, unknown): “These recent findings are consistent with earlier Negative Income Tax experiments showing that participation was more sensitive than hours worked for both single female heads and married women (Robins, 1985), as well as with indirect evidence showing larger estimated elasticities for all than for wo”
Taxes and the labor market participation of married couples (2004, unknown): “…likely to be more responsive to taxes than their hours worked because his estimates show higher labor supply elasticities when using all women as opposed to working women.24 In his sensitivity analysis of married women’s hours of work, Mroz (1987) makes a similar point with respect to gross wages.”
