Jäntti, Markus - 2014
We utilise repeated cross sections of micro data from several countries, available from the Luxembourg Income Study, LIS, to estimate labour supply elasticities, both at the intensive and extensive margin. The benefit of the data is that it spans over four decades and includes a large number of...

Tax Competition, Elastic Labor Supply, and Growth
Hange, Ulrich - 2021
In this paper we investigate the effects of tax competition in a simple endogenous growth model with elastic labor supply. Our analysis focuses on two issues. First, we show that all taxes, i.e. on capital, labor, and consumption, are harmful for growth. Second, we derive the optimal tax policy....

The Elasticity of Trade : Estimates and Evidence
Simonovska, Ina - 2011
Quantitative results from a large class of international trade models depend critically on the elasticity of trade with … respect to trade frictions. We develop a simulated method of moments estimator to estimate this elasticity from disaggregate …-flow data for 123 countries in the year 2004 yields a trade elasticity of roughly four, nearly fifty percent lower than Eaton …

Paying Postage : Estimating the Elasticity of Voter Turnout
Schelker, Mark - 2017
In the aftermath of elections or ballots, the legitimacy of the result is regularly debated if voter turnout was considered to be low. Hence, discussions about legal reforms to increase turnout are common in most democracies. We analyze the impact of a very small change in voting costs on voter...
