----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- A graduate student working on the espistemology of labour economics has written asking for help identifying the origins of the canonical labour supply model built upon the trade-off between leisure and income. The student wonders if the relationship goes back beyond the literature of the 1920s and 1930s, possibly to Jevons' understanding of an individual's labour supply and/or to Veblen's indentification of the income-leisure polarity. Can anyone help identify the source(s) of the canonical model?
