There is still considerable dispute about the magnitude of labor supply elasticities. While differences in micro and macro estimates are recently attributed to frictions and adjustment costs, we show that relatively low labor supply elasticities derived from microeconometric models can also be...

There is still considerable dispute about the magnitude of labor supply elasticities. While differences in estimates especially between micro and macro models are recently attributed to frictions and adjustment costs, we show that the variation in elasticities derived from structural labor...

In the context of certain dynamic models, it is possible to infer the elasticity of labor supply to the firm from the … elasticity of the quit rate with respect to the wage. Using this property, we estimate the average labor supply elasticity to … schedules to instrument for actual salary. Instrumental variables estimates lead to a labor supply elasticity estimate of about …

In this paper we estimate the elasticity of the labour supply to a firm, using data from the Household, Income and … Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. Estimation of this elasticity is of particular interest not only in its own … immediately losing their workforce. This is in contrast to the perfectly competitive extreme, in which the elasticity is infinite …
