Frisch elasticity of labor supply

The Frisch elasticity of labor supply captures the elasticity of hours worked to the wage rate, given a constant marginal utility of wealth. In other words, the Frisch elasticity measures the substitution effect of a change in the wage rate on labor supply.[1]

It is named after the economist Ragnar Frisch.

Under certain circumstances, a constant marginal utility of wealth implies a constant marginal utility of consumption.
