Labor Supply Elasticities : Overcoming Nonclassical Measurement Error Using More Accurate Hours Data
Barrett, Garry F. - 2016
We measure the impact of measurement error in labor-supply elasticities estimated over recalled usual work hours, as is ubiquitous in the literature. Employing hours of work in diaries collected by the American Time Use Survey, 2003-12, along with the same respondents' recalled usual hours, we...

Inheritance Taxation and Wealth Effects on the Labor Supply of Heirs
Kindermann, Fabian - 2018
The taxation of bequests can have a positive impact on the labor supply of heirs through wealth effects. This leads to an increase in future labor income tax revenue on top of direct bequest tax revenue. We first show in a theoretical model that a simple back-of-the-envelope calculation, based...

Individual and Aggregate Labor Supply in Heterogeneous Agent Economies with Intensive and Extensive Margins
Chang, Yongsung - 2018
We study business cycle fluctuations in heterogeneous-agent general equilibrium models that feature both intensive and extensive margins of labor supply. A nonconvexity in the mapping between time devoted to work and labor services combined with idiosyncratic shocks generates operative extensive...
