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 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 …

wave of the Health and Retirement Study, the results show that the wage elasticity of informal care supply is negative and … larger in magnitude than has been found previously. The lower bound of this elasticity is estimated to be -1.8 for males and … -3.6 for females. Additional findings suggest that the wage elasticity of informal care supply differs by the type of …

In this paper, we estimate income- and substitution- labour supply and participation elasticities for Canadian married women using data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics 1996-2005. We use the Canadian Tax and Credit Simulator (CTaCS) and detailed information on the structure of...

Moreover, we find that the Frisch elasticity is decreasing in income and tended to …
