Carson, Scott A. - CESifo - 2010

The use of height data to measure living standards is now a well-established method in economics. Nevertheless, a neglected area in historical stature studies is the relationship between stature and family size, and statures are documented here to be positively related with family size. The...

Goerke, Laszlo - CESifo - 2012

Traditionally, it has been argued that profit sharing can increase employment and welfare because it lowers marginal labour costs without reducing total cost or labour income. In this paper, we show that profit sharing can also represent a Pareto-improvement if labour supply is excessive due to...

What Explains the Variation in Estimates of Labour Supply Elasticities?

Evers, Michiel; Mooij, Ruud A. De; Vuuren, Daniel J. Van - CESifo - 2005

This paper performs a meta-analysis of empirical estimates of uncompensated labour supply elasticities. We find that much of the variation in elasticities can be explained by the variation in gender, participation rates, and country fixed effects. Country differences appear to be small though....
