Most empirical studies of the impact of labour income taxation on the labour supply behaviour of households use a … unitary modelling approach. In this paper we empirically analyze income taxation and the choice of working hours by combining … changes on the intrahousehold allocation of income. We also simulate the consequences of a policy change in the tax system. We …
