estimates are extremely sensitive to the treatment of the wages a neglected dimension so far. We show that, e.g., the choice … between predicting wages for the full sample instead of using predicted wages only for non-workers two methods frequently used … increases labor supply elasticities by up to 100 percent. As a consequence, we propose a new estimation strategy which overcomes …

This paper investigates the inter-temporal structure of implicit taxes that arise in unfunded pension schemes. We demonstrate that these tax rates are declining over the life cycle. Using German micro-data for men and married women we estimate periodic wage elasticities of labour supply in order...

This paper deals with discrete labour supply decisions of different groups of persons in response to a change in net wage rates. The centrepiece of this approach is individuals' switching between working time categories, while facing switching costs that arise when people expand or reduce...
