Casarico, Alessandra; Sommacal, Alessandro - 2014

In this paper we develop an overlapping generations model in which child care matters for human capital accumulation. We investigate whether an increase in labor supply brought about by a reduction in taxes is always associated with a reduction in parental time devoted to children, which...

Using German micro-data for men and married women we estimate periodic wage elasticities of labour supply in order...

This paper develops analytic results for marginal compensated effects of discrete labor supply models, including Slutsky equations. It matters, when evaluating marginal compensated effects in discrete choice labor supply models, whether one considers wage increase (right marginal effects) or...

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 entrepreneurial and labor risk is found to be statistically significant and...

Gathering support for green tax reform : evidence from German household surveys

Ploeg, Frederick van der; Rezai, Armon; Tovar Reaños, … - 2021

Green tax reform is unpopular because, typically, the poor are hurt most by the higher prices of carbon-intensive commodities. If revenues from a carbon tax are recycled, it may be feasible to gain popular support for green tax reform. To investigate this, we estimate an EASI demand system from...
