The employment behavior of mothers is strongly influenced by labor market regulations and certain institutional arrangements, which both vary greatly across European countries.

We analyze the labor supply and income effects of a needs-based minimum benefit system (Bedarfsorientierte Mindestsicherung) to be introduced in Austria by the end of this/beginning of next year. The aim of this reform is to reduce poverty as well as increasing employment rates of recipients of...

Using information on desired and actual hours of work, we formulate a discrete choice model of constrained labor supply. Using the German Socio-Economic Panel and the microsimulation model STSM, we find that hours and participation elasticities are substantially smaller than those in the...

We analyze the effects of three alternative proposals to reform the taxation of families relative to the current German system of joint taxation of couples and child allowances: a French-type family splitting and two full family splitting proposals. The empirical analysis of the effects of these...

Using information on desired and actual hours of work, we formulate a discrete choice model of constrained labor supply, where involuntary unemployment as well as over- and underemployment are modelled in a theoretically consistent way. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and...
