Comparing Labor Supply Elasticities in Europe and the US: New Results
Bargain, Olivier; Orsini, Kristian; Peichl, Andreas - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2012
We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17 European countries and the US, separately by gender and marital status. Measurement differences are netted out by using a harmonized empirical approach and comparable data sources. We find that own-wage...

Labor Supply Elasticities in Europe and the US
Bargain, Olivier; Orsini, Kristian; Peichl, Andreas - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2011
Despite numerous studies on labor supply, the size of elasticities is rarely comparable across countries. In this paper, we suggest the first large-scale international comparison of elasticities, while netting out possible differences due to methods, data selection and the period of...

How Responsive is Female Labour Supply to Child Care Costs: New Australian Estimates
Gong, Xiaodong; Breunig, Robert; King, Anthony - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2010
The degree of responsiveness of Australian women's labour supply to child care cost has been a matter of some debate. There is a view that the level of responsiveness is very low or negligible, running counter to international and anecdotal evidence. In this paper we review the Australian and...
