The effects of cash transfers on adult labor market outcomes

Baird, Sarah; McKenzie, David J.; Özler, Berk - In: IZA Journal of development and migration 8 (2018) 22, pp. 1-20

Using Non-Linear Budget Sets to Estimate Extensive Margin Responses : Method and Evidence from the Social Security Earnings Test

Gelber, Alexander M.; Jones, Damon; Sacks, Daniel W.; … - 2018

We develop a method for estimating the effect of a kinked or notched budget set on workers employment decisions, and we use it to estimate the impact of the Social Security Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Annual Earnings Test (AET). The AET reduces OASI claimants' current OASI benefits in...

How does basic income (a regular, unconditional, guaranteed cash transfer) impact labor supply? We show that in search models of the labor market with income effects, this impact is theoretically ambiguous: Employment and job durations might increase or decrease, match surplus might be shifted...
