Labor Supply Elasticities in Europe and the US

Bargain, Olivier - 2011

Despite numerous studies on labor supply, the size of elasticities is rarely comparable across countries. In this paper, we suggest the first large-scale international comparison of elasticities, while netting out possible differences due to methods, data selection and the period of...

The Frisch Elasticity in Labor Markets with High Job Turnover

Céspedes Reynaga, Nikita - 2012

We estimate Frisch elasticity in a labor market with high job turnover. In a context where only around 18% of the … Frisch elasticity. We estimate Frisch elasticity at around 0.38, which indicates fairly adjustable wages and little reaction … of hours of work to wage variations. Moreover, we find that the Frisch elasticity is decreasing in income and tended to …

Experimental Evidence on the Relationship between Tax Evasion Opportunities and Labor Supply

Doerrenberg, Philipp - 2012

Motivated by the observation that access to evasion opportunities is distributed heterogeneously across the labor market, this paper examines the extent to which labor supply elasticities with respect to tax rates depend on such evasion opportunities. We first discuss the channels through which...
