The model simulates the German tax and transfer system using household micro level data. By estimating …

study the impact of two mechanisms on labor supply: (i) differences in marriage stability and (ii) differences in tax … systems. We calibrate the model to U.S. data and study how labor supply in the U.S. changes as we introduce European tax … tax mechanisms combined explain 58% of the variation in labor supply between the U.S. and the European countries in our …

Over the last twenty years we have seen an increasing use of in-work tax subsidies to encourage labor supply among low …-income groups. In Sweden, a non-targeted earned income tax credit was introduced in 2007, and was reinforced in 2008, 2009 and 2010 … earned income tax credit reform up to 2008. For identification we exploit the fact that the size of the tax credit, as well …

The paper exploits that the special rules for elderly were governed by the … effect of the new policies. The results suggest that the age-targeted tax credits increased employment in the year following …
