We investigate how early life circumstances - childhood health and socioeconomic status (SES) - are associated with labor market outcomes over an individualś entire life cycle. A life cycle approach provides insights not only into which labor market outcomes are associated with adverse...

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 …
