Abstract

[fre] Travail atypique et théorie du risque . . Cet article présente une formalisation du comportement d'un travailleur dont le revenu est considéré comme aléatoire et dont le temps de travail est flexible. En retenant une fonction de type Cobb-Douglas et des risques différés, la durée du travail est influencée par les préférences pour le loisir et les inclinations envers le risque. L'analyse est précisée par l'étude de la variation du temps de travail optimal d'un travailleur qui témoigne d'un goût du risque lorsque la moyenne et la variance de ses revenus se modifient. Ainsi, nous reconnaissons l'existence du sens du risque, jusqu'ici éludée par la théorie de l'offre de travail. [eng] Non-typical labour and theory of risk. . In this paper, we propose a model of behaviour of worker whose incarne must be comidered as a random variable and whose labour time is flexible. Using a Cobb-Douglas function and delayed risks, work time is influenced by preferences for leisure and conducts towards risk. The analysis is precised by studying optimal labour time variation of risk preference worker when his income mean and variance vary. This leads us to recognize the existence of preference for risk, thus far eluded by labor supply theory.
