Does labor supply respond to a flat tax? Evidence from the Russian tax reform
Duncan, Denvil; Sabirianova, Klara Z. - 2009
We exploit the exogenous change in marginal tax rates created by the Russian flat tax reform of 2001 to identify the effect of taxes on labor supply of males and females. We apply the weighted difference-in-difference regression approach and instrumental variables to the labor supply function...

Wage Elasticity of the Teacher Supply in Switzerland
Wolter, Stefan C.; Denzler, Stefan - 2003
In order to learn more about the wage elasticity of the teacher supply in Switzerland, this paper estimates wages for …-1999. The data allows us to estimate the wage elasticity for entry wages of upper secondary school teachers. In the cases … examined, the wage differential is highly significant and shows a wage elasticity for the teacher supply of 0.12% to 0 …

Overtime Work Dual Job Holding and Taxation
Frederiksen, Anders; Graversen, Ebbe Krogh; Smith, Nina - 2001
Traditionally, labour supply data do not include much information on hours and wages in secondary job or overtime work. In this paper, we estimate labour supply models based on survey information on hours and wages in overtime work and second job which is merged to detailed register information...

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...

Estimating the firm's labor supply curve in a new monopsony framework: school teachers in Missouri
Ransom, Michael R.; Sims, David P. - 2009
In the context of certain dynamic models, it is possible to infer the elasticity of labor supply to the firm from the … elasticity of the quit rate with respect to the wage. Using this property, we estimate the average labor supply elasticity to … schedules to instrument for actual salary. Instrumental variables estimates lead to a labor supply elasticity estimate of about …

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 …
