Discrete choice models of labor supply easily account for nonlinearty and nonconvexity in budget sets caused by tax-benefit systems. As a result, they have become very popular for ex ante evaluations of policy reforms. In this paper, we question whether the degree of flexibility and the implicit...

elasticity of labor supply can be near zero. This paper proposes a tractable theory of earnings and working time to interpret … data, revealing a Frisch elasticity of around 0.5. A quasi-experimental approach that exploits only idiosyncratic variation … would find an elasticity less than half this. …

previous studies, ignoring an individual's time spent on home production when estimating the Frisch elasticity of labor supply … accounting all factors related to home production, I find that the "micro" Frisch elasticity is about 0.4 and the "macro" Frisch … elasticity, which accounts for extensive margin adjustments, is about 0.9. If I only account for an individual's own home …

Labor supply in the market for low-paid jobs in Germany is strongly influenced by tax exemptions - even for individuals to whom these exemptions do not apply. We present compelling evidence that an individual's choice set depends on other workers' preferences because firms cater their job offers...

This paper investigates supply-side discrimination in the labor market for Boston taxi drivers. Using data on millions of trips from 2010-2015, I explore whether the labor supply behavior of taxi drivers differs by the gender, racial/ethnic, or age composition of Boston neighborhoods. I find...
