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 …

In addition to those constant wage elasticity estimates, we find that the composition of working women into different … wage groups has changed considerably, resulting in shrinking wage elasticity estimates at the aggregate level. These …

Note that since the non-labor income elasticity is negative the … Slutsky equation implies that the compensated wage elasticity is higher than the uncompensated one. With a random utility … model we show empirically that in many cases the uncompensated wage elasticity is in fact the highest one. …

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...
