- Child Labor and Schooling Decisions in Urban and Rural Areas: Comparative Evidence from Nepal, Peru, and Zimbabwe (2005, background): “In rural Nepal and Zimbabwe, we find supportive evidence for Basu and Van s (1998) luxury axiom that states, ‘‘A family will send the children to the labor market only if the family s income from non-child labor sources drops very low.”
- Does Globalization Increase Child Labor (2002, background): “Basu and Van (1998), for example, assume that parents will make their children work only if the alternative is starvation.”
- Understanding sibling differences in child labor (2006, background): “Introduction Recent studies of the determinants of child labor emphasize the role played by extreme deprivation (Basu and Van 1998), credit market imperfections (Baland and Robinson 2000), and”
- The Global Child Labor Problem : What Do We Know and What Can We Do? (2003, background): “Two crucial assumptions underlie some of the early models (see, for instance, Basu and Van 1998; Swinnerton and Rogers 1999) and have been used in a wide range of analyses, from dynamics to the modeling of social norms: the luxury axiom and the substitution axiom.”
- The influence of market wages and parental history on child labour and schooling in Egypt (2006, background): “Few studies have extended Basu and Van (1998) by examining the dynamics of child labour, for example, Basu (1999) and Emerson and Souza (2003).”
