The availability of child care and mothers' employment in West Germany
Kreyenfeld, Michaela; Hank, Karsten - 1999

Optimal income taxation of married couples : an empirical analysis of joint and individual taxation
Haan, Peter (contributor); Navarro, Dolores (contributor) - 2008
In this paper we develop a discrete model of optimal taxation of married couples and empirically discuss the optimality of income taxation for this group. To this end, we derive the social welfare function which guarantees that joint taxation of married couples is optimal. We will contrast this...

A structural approach to estimating the effect of taxation on the labor market dynamics of older workers
Haan, Peter; Prowse, Victoria - 2009
We estimate a dynamic structural life-cycle model of employment, non-employment and retirement that includes endogenous accumulation of human capital and intertemporal non- separabilities in preferences. Additionally, the model accounts for the effect of the tax and transfer system on work...
