We estimate the responses of gross labor earnings with respect to marginal and average net-of-tax rates in France over the period 2003-2006. We exploit a series of reforms to the income-tax and the payroll-tax schedules that affect individuals who earn less than twice the minimum wage. Our...

In this paper we argue that, for a given overall level of labour income taxation, a more progressive tax schedule … increases employment. From a theoretical point of view, higher progressivity increases overall employment through a wage … moderating effect and also because employment of low-paid workers is more elastic to wages.
