This lecture focuses on how welfare programs alter the hours of work decisions of an individual. Then, it looks at the intertemporal labour supply of an individual over their life cycle by studying their age-earnings profile. It also explores the labour supply decisions of individuals over the business cycle, underlining the added worker effect and discouraged worker effect.
