Abstract

This study examined the relationship between income and the value of leisure to develop a more accurate model of the labor market without necessarily losing the primary merit of the received model. Moreover, with an improved understanding of the labor market dynamics, it can be seen that progressive era labor market legislation, which was designed to mitigate the effects of the bargaining power inequality in low wage labor markets, was in fact based on sensible economic foundations. These low-wage dynamics present an example of a positive feedback system or "vicious circle" at work in the economy. The market dynamics of the low wage sector push the wage away from the range that is consistent with a self-regulating market.

본 연구는 2009년부터 2012년까지의 복지패널자료로 노동시간과 임금의 변화를 잠재적인 추이를 통해 살펴보고, 이들의 관계 패턴을 통해 역동적인 노동시장 안에서 연도별 개인의 효용극대화점의 변화와 노동공급곡선의 방향을 살펴보아 앞으로의 방향성을 예측해 보고자 한다. 연구대상과 자료는 한국복지패널의 2009년부터 2012년간 가구 월기준으로 노동시간과 임금을 측정 및 분석하였다. 연구결과로 먼저, 2009년에서 2012년으로 변화함에 따라 노동시간과 임금은 증가함을 예측할 수 있었으며, 비선형 성장곡선이 아닌 선형으로 나타났다. 둘째, 2009년에서 2012년 동안 추정해 보면 노동시간의 SLOPE와 임금의 SLOPE간에 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 셋째, 2009년에서 2012년까지 노동시간과 임금이 함께 증가하는 것으로 나타났기 때문에 노동공급곡선 가구의 한계효용점은 우상향으로 이동한다. 노동공급곡선이 우상향하는 추이를 지속적으로 보이므로 대체효과가 소득효과를 좀 더 압도하고 있다고 볼 수 있다.
