Economics: theory and practice https://journal.num.edu.mn/econjournal <p>The journal is committed to enhance a dissemination of research in economics and economic policy in the country and abroad and to bring quality of the Mongolian economic research closer to the world standard.

Макро эдийн<br>засгийн ерөнхий тэнцвэр болон түүний динамикт нэрлэсэн хувьсагчид болон санамсаргүй шокийн үзүүлэх<br>нөлөөнөөс өмнө бодит хувьсагчдын хооронд тогтож байдаг үндсэн хамаарал, тэнцвэрийг тогтоох нь чухал<br>байдаг. Энэ судалгааны ажил нь Монгол улсын сүүлийн 17 жилийн тоон мэдээллийг ашиглан эдийн засгийн<br>мөчлөгийг хэмжих, онолын тогтсон баримтуудтай нийцтэй байгаа эсэхийг шалгахаас гадна завсрын бүтээгдэхүүний зах зээл, монопольт үнийн нөхцлөөр өргөтгөсөн бодит байдалд илүү нийцтэй, энгийн RBC загварыг<br>ашиглан Монгол улсын эдийн засгийн мөчлөгийн шинж чанарыг тайлбарлах, онцлогийг нь илрүүлэн тайлбарлах зорилготой хийгдсэн. Монгол улсын эдийн засгийн мөчлөгийн гол үндсэн үзүүлтүүд нь онолын тогтсон<br>баримтуудтай нийцтэй байна.

This phenomenon, or the so-called Dutch Disease hypothesis<br>were tested, and the results are supportive of the argument. We found a long-run<br>negative relationship between the growing resource sector and manufacturing:<br>a ten-percent increase in the resource sector brings a two-percent decrease in<br>manufacturing in Mongolia.</span> </p> Enkhmaa B Copyright (c) 2024 ЭДИЙН ЗАСАГ: ОНОЛ, ПРАКТИК https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-04-05 2024-04-05 37 Estimating Frisch labor supply elasticity in Mongolia https://journal.num.edu.mn/econjournal/article/view/6998 <p><span class="fontstyle0">Using data from the Household Socio-Economic Survey (HSES) conducted in<br>2018 aggregated by prefecture, age group, and sex, we estimate the Frisch labor<br>supply elasticity which has been seldom estimated in Mongolia. The change in labor supply can be decomposed into two labor-supply behaviors: extensive margin,<br>indicating workers’ entry and exit from the labor market; and intensive margin,<br>indicating changes in hours of work in response to a wage change. Our estimate of<br>the Frisch elasticity on the extensive and intensive margins combined is 0.68 and<br>the Frisch elasticity on only the intensive margin is 0.09. These results suggest that<br>extensive margin explains the bulk of labor-supply changes in Mongolia.</span> </p> Dulamsuren U Manlaibaatar Z Copyright (c) 2024 ЭДИЙН ЗАСАГ: ОНОЛ, ПРАКТИК https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-04-15 2024-04-15 37 Parental Wage Penalty: The case of Mongolia https://journal.num.edu.mn/econjournal/article/view/8271 <p><span class="fontstyle0">In Mongolia, since the early 2000s, female labor force participation is declining<br>down to 50.6 percent in 2023 (National Statistics Office, 2024). It raises serious<br>concern about the long-term economic growth and the country’s future in general.<br>In this paper we investigate the existence and the extent of the parental wage<br>penalty including motherhood wage penalty as a potential factor that prevents<br>young women to enter and re-enter into the labor force. Based on data from the<br>Mongolian Household Socio-Economic Survey 2018, we find that the parental wage<br>premium is 11.93 percent, the fatherhood wage premium is 19.30 percent, and the<br>motherhood wage penalty is 21.30 percent, respectively. These findings are obtained<br>after controlling for individual observed heterogeneities such as a range of human<br>capital characteristics, working industry, and occupation. We also find that the<br>parental wage penalty differs by education, location, marital status and occupation.<br>Our research findings echo and update previous literature on the topic and can be<br>used for comparative studies with the incoming research in developing and transition<br>economies. Our research has a few limitations. A first limit of our analysis is that<br>we did not focus on the causality of the wage penalty. The second limit is that we<br>did not focus on the changes in the wage penalty since our data is one cross section<br>data from HSES 2018 Mongolia. Parental wage penalty can change over time, and<br>parental leave policies may play a role in this regard. This is avenue for the future<br>research.</span> </p> Otgontugs B Undral E Copyright (c) 2024 Economics: theory and practice https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-06-11 2024-06-11 37
