Given the key role of the taxable income elasticity in designing an optimal tax system there are many studies … attempting to estimate this elasticity. To account for nonlinear taxes these studies either use instrumental variables approaches … nonparametric estimation methods. We show how to nonparametrically estimate the conditional mean of taxable income imposing all the …

-in-differences estimation strategy in the NHIS data, as has been done in several other data sets. Depending on the specification, we find that …
