摘要：We develop a structural multi-factor labour demand model which distinguishes
between eight labour categories including non-standard types of employment such
as marginal employment. The model is estimated for both the number of workers
and total working hours using a new panel data set. For unskilled and skilled
workers in full-time employment, we find labour demand elasticities similar to
previous estimates for the west German economy. Our new estimates of own-wage
elasticities for marginal employment range between -.4 (number of male workers
in west Germany) to -1 (working hours for women). We illustrate the implications
of these estimates by simulating the likely labour demand effects of the recent
increase of employers' social security contributions (SSC) on marginal
employment in Germany.
