On Modeling Household Labor Supply with Taxation
Bargain, Olivier - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2005
Discrete-choice models provide a simple way of representing utility-maximizing labor supply decisions in the presence of highly nonlinear and possibly non-convex budget constraints. Thus, it is not surprising that they are so extensively used for ex-ante evaluation of taxbenefit reforms. The...

In-Work Policies in Europe: Killing Two Birds with One Stone?
Bargain, Olivier; Orsini, Kristian - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2004
Earning an income is probably the best way of avoiding poverty and social exclusion, hence the recent trend of promoting employment through in-work transfers in OECD countries. Yet, the relative consensus on the need for ‘making work pay’ policies is muddied by a number of concerns relative...

On Modeling Household Labor Supply With Taxation
Bargain, Olivier - School of Economics, University College Dublin - 2007
Discrete choice models of labor supply easily account for nonlinearity and nonconvexity in budget sets caused by tax-benefit systems. As a result, they have become very popular for ex ante evaluations of policy reforms. In this paper, we question whether the degree of flexibility and the...
