the micro level means that the aggregate labour supply elasticity is not a structural parameter: any aggregate elasticity …

labor supply elasticities were small, recent work has identified three key reasons that the aggregate elasticity may be … estimates for aggregate labor supply. Third, structural estimation of responses along the extensive (i.e., employment) margin …

We provide new estimates of the separations elasticity, a proximate determinant of the labor supply facing a firm with … biased by mismeasured wages and use of wage variation unrelated to firm choices. We estimate the impact of the firm component …-experimental evidence, and that they are approximately 3 to 4 times larger that those using individual wages. Further, we find lower …

We use an exogenous change in wages at Veterans Affairs hospitals as a natural experiment to investigate … supply to individual hospitals is quite inelastic, with short-run elasticity around 0.1. We also find that non-VA hospitals … responded to the VA wage change by changing their own wages …

This paper investigates three hypotheses to account for the observed shifts in U.S. relative wages of less educated … inequality among these groups but it could have contributed to the decline in wages for the least educated. Instead, support is …

The available estimates of the wage elasticity of male labor … which men can change their hours of work, and in which wages have been exogenously and permanently changed. We introduce a … function. Our estimates suggest that the elasticity of labor supply is about -0.2, implying that income effects dominate …

In a seminal paper, Camerer, Babcock, Loewenstein, and Thaler (1997) find that the wage elasticity of daily hours of …
