The Impact of Product and Labour Market Reform on Growth : Evidence for OECD Countries Based on Local Projections
de Haan, Jakob - 2020
This paper examines the impact of labour and product market reforms on economic growth in 25 OECD countries between 1985 and 2013, and tests whether this impact is conditioned by the fiscal policy stance, i.e. whether there are fiscal expansions or adjustments. Our local projection results...

Sauré, Philip U.; Seibold, Arthur; Smorodenkova, Elizaveta - 2023
We study how occupations shape individual and aggregate retirement behavior. First, we document large differences in individual retirement ages across occupations in U.S. data. We then show that retirement behavior among European workers is strongly correlated with U.S. occupational retirement...

Ageing and productivity growth: are there macro-level cohort effects of human capital?
Werding, Martin - 2008
Slower growth of the labour force and an increase in old-age dependency will reduce the growth of aggregate output and output per capita in many developed countries. However, a major question is whether there is any systematic link between demographics and the productivity of those who will...

The marginal cost of public funds in OECD countries : hours of work versus labor force participation
Kleven, Henrik Jacobsen; Kreiner, Claus Thustrup - 2003
A central finding of the modern labor market literature is that labor supply responses tend to be concentrated along the extensive margin (labor force participation) rather than the intensive margin (hours of work). Yet, the literature on the marginal cost of public funds (MCF) focuses solely on...

Employment and taxes
Nickell, Stephen J. - 2003
This paper considers the impact of taxation policy on market work. On the basis of the evidence, we find that a 10 percentage point rise in the tax wedge will reduce overall labour input provided via the market by around 2 per cent of the population of working age. The tax wedge is the sum of...

Entrepreneurship, economic risks, and risk insurance in the welfare state : results with OECD data 1978 - 93
Ilmakunnas, Pekka; Kanniainen, Vesa - 2000
We find evidence in the OECD cross-country data to support the Knightian view that non-diversifiable economic risks shape equilibrium entrepreneurship in an occupational choice model. Differential social insurance of entrepreneurship and labor risk is found to be statistically significant and...

Inequality and growth : the dual role of human capital in development
Eicher, Theo S.; García-Peñalosa, Cecilia - 2000
To examine how human capital accumulation influences both economic growth and income quality, we carefully endogenize the demand and supply of skills. We explicitly introduce the costs and externalities in education, and examine how both relate to learning-by-doing and R&D intensity. In...
