Bargain, Olivier; Caliendo, Marco; Haan, Peter; Orsini, … - 2006
We assess the labour supply effects of two 'making work pay' reforms in Germany. We provide evidence in favour of …

Can child care policy encourage employment and fertility? Evidence from a structural model
Haan, Peter; Wrohlich, Katharina - 2009
In this paper we develop a structural model of female employment and fertility which accounts for intertemporal … feedback effects between the two outcomes. We identify the effect of financial incentives on the employment and fertility … decision by exploiting variation in the tax and transfer system which differs by employment state and number of children. To …

Steady-State Labor Supply Elasticities: A Survey
Bargain, Olivier; Peichl, Andreas - 2013
Previous reviews of static labor supply estimations concentrate mainly on the evidence from the 1980s and 1990s, Anglo-Saxon countries and early generations of labor supply modeling. This paper provides a fresh characterization of steady-state labor supply elasticities for Western Europe and the...

The Sensitivity of Structural Labor Supply Estimations to Modeling Assumptions
Löffler, Max; Peichl, Andreas; Siegloch, Sebastian - 2018
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...

Labor supply elasticities in Europe and the US
Bargain, Olivier; Orsini, Kristian; Peichl, Andreas - 2011
Despite numerous studies on labor supply, the size of elasticities is rarely comparable across countries. In this paper, we suggest the first large-scale international comparison of elasticities, while netting out possible differences due to methods, data selection and the period of...

Structural Labor Supply Models and Wage Exogeneity
Löffler, Max; Peichl, Andreas; Siegloch, Sebastian - 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...

Welfare, labor supply and heterogeneous preferences: Evidence for Europe and the US
Bargain, Olivier; Decoster, André; Dolls, Mathias; … - 2011
Following the report of the Stiglitz Commission, measuring and comparing well-being across countries has gained renewed interest. Yet, analyses that go beyond income and incorporate non-market dimensions of welfare most often rely on the assumption of identical preferences to avoid the...

Comparing labor supply elasticities in Europe and the US: New results
Bargain, Olivier; Orsini, Kristian; Peichl, Andreas - 2012
We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17 European countries and the US, separately by gender and marital status. Measurement differences are netted out by using a harmonized empirical approach and comparable data sources. We find that own-wage...
