Abstract
We analyze labor supply of 16-year-old British children together with the cash transfers made to them by their parents. We develop a theoretical model with an altruistic parent and a selfish child, which serves as a basis for the empirical specification in which labor supply and transfers are jointly determined. We show how parental transfers and the child's labor supply are dependent on each other. Consideration of this is important when assessing the influence of other factors.
