36When entering the job market, nurses choose among different kÃnd of jobs. Each of these jobs is characterized by wage, sector (primary care or hospital) and shift (daytime work or shift). This paper estimates a multisector-job-type random utÃlity model of labor supply on data for Norwegian registered nurses in 2000. The empirical model implies that labor supply is rather inelastic; 10 percent increase in the wage rates for all nurses is estÃmaled to vield 3.3 percent Ãncrease in overall labor supply. This modest response shadows for much stronger inter job-type responses. Our approach differs from previous studÃes in two ways: First, to our knowledge,it Ãs thefirst tÃme that a model of labour supply for nurses Ãs estÃmated takÃng explÃcÃty Ãnto account the choices that RN's have regarding work place and type of job. Second, it differs from previous studies with respect to the measurement of the compensations for different types of work. So far, it has been focused on wage differentÃals. But there are more attributes of a job than the wage. Based on the estimated random utÃlÃty model we therefore calculate the expected value of compensatÃon that makes a utÃlÃty maxìmìzìng agent indifferent between types of jobs, here behween shift work and daytìme work. It turns out that Nondegian nurses working shifis may be willing to work shift relative to daytime work for lower wage than the current one.
