Volunteer Labor Sorting Across IndustriesBurton A. WeisbrodNorthwestern University - Department of Economics; University of California, San Diego (UCSD) - Department of Economics Lewis M. SegalFederal Reserve Banks - Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Summer 2002 Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Vol. 21, No. 3, pp. 427-447, Summer 2002 Abstract: Volunteer labor is generally analyzed as a homogeneous activity, implying that the marginal effects of tax changes and demographic shifts are equal across industries and forms of volunteering. Here the homogeneity assumption is tested by estimating and comparing volunteer labor supply functions in three sectors that rely on volunteer labor-health, education, and religious organizations. Differences in the marginal volunteer labor supply effects are associated with personal demographics, household composition, and tax status. These differences are significant statistically as well as for their policy implications. The effects on volunteering to each sector are predicted for changes in the age, education, and marital status distributions of the population, as well as for changes in income tax rates, itemization status, and income.
