In-work transfers in good times and bad: Simulations for Ireland

Bargain, Olivier; Doorley, Karina - 2009

In-work transfers are often seen as a good trade-off between redistribution and efficiency, as they alleviate poverty among low-wage households while increasing financial incentives to work. The present study explores the consequences of extending these transfers in Ireland, where support for...

Returns to Experience and the Elasticity of Labor Supply

French, Scott - 2017

When wages increase with work experience, estimation of standard labor supply models that assume exogenous wage … formation suffers from omitted variable bias and produces downward-biased estimates of the intertemporal elasticity of … substitution (IES). We test this theory in a novel way. Using a large data set of the daily labor supply decisions of Florida …

Labor Supply Elasticities : Can Micro Be Misleading for Macro?

Fiorito, Riccardo - 2009

elasticity is obtained from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). The aggregate, time-series, elasticity is estimated from … lifecycle labor supply model with home production. We find an individual elasticity of approximately 0.1, a low value that is in … accordance with standard micro estimates. At the same time, we find an aggregate elasticity near 1. This result derives from a …

Frictions and taxpayer responses : evidence from bunching at personal tax thresholds

Adam, Stuart; Browne, James; Phillips, David; Roantree, … - 2017

We investigate bunching at personal tax thresholds over a 40-year period. At kinks, where the marginal tax rate rises, we find bunching among company owner-managers and the self-employed, but not those with only employment income. Notches, where the average rate rises, provide compelling...

On the distribution of wealth and employment

Yum, Minchul - 2018

In the United States, the employment rate is nearly flat across wealth quintiles with the exception of the first quintile. Correlations between wealth and employment are close to zero or moderately positive. However, incomplete markets models with a standard utility function counterfactually...

Accounting for limited commitment between spouses when estimating labor-supply elasticities

Bredemeier, Christian; Gravert, Jan Hendrik; Jüßen, Falko - 2021

The Frisch elasticity of labor supply can be estimated by regressing hours worked on the hourly wage rate, controlling … consumption. We develop an improved estimation approach that eliminates this bias by exploiting information on the composition of …
