Structural labor supply models and wage exogeneity
Löffler, Max; Peichl, Andreas; Siegloch, Sebastian - 2014 - This version: June 24, 2014
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...

The value-added of sectoral disaggregation : implications on competitive consequences of climate change policies
Alexeeva-Talebi, Victoria; Böhringer, Christoph; … - 2012
Global impact assessment of unilateral climate policies is commonly based on multi‐sector, multi‐region computable general equilibrium (CGE) models that are calibrated to consistent accounts of production, consumption, and bilateral trade flows. However, global economic databases such as...

The Effect of Marginal Tax Rates on Income : A Panel Study of 'Bracket Creep'
Saez, Emmanuel - 1999
This paper uses a panel of individual tax returns and the `bracket creep' as source of tax rate variation to construct instrumental variables estimates of the sensitivity of income to changes in tax rates. From 1979 to 1981, the US income tax schedule was fixed in nominal terms while inflation...

These models are used to perform simulations of bunching and calibrate … the key parameters (the behavioral elasticity and the extent to which taxpayers control their income) to the empirical … income distributions. Except for low income earners, the behavioral elasticity consistent with the empirical results is small …

Elasticities of Demand for Educated Labor and Elasticities of Supply of Educated Labor
Freeman, Richard B. - 1982
This paper reviews a variety of estimates of the demand and supply elasticities of educated labor. It finds that elasticities of substitution between more and less educated labor range fran 1.0 to 2.0 and that elasticities of the supply of students to colleges are also on the order of 1.0 to 2.0...
