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...

compensated elasticity of income with respect to tax rates. 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 …

In this paper I try to determine whether international trade has been increasing the own-price elasticity of demand for … elasticity patterns. Thus the time series of labor-demand elasticities are explained largely by a residual, time itself. This … residual for changing factor prices over time, there also appears to be a large unexplained residual for changing factor demand …

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...
