elasticity of trade with respect to trade frictions. We develop a new simulated method of moments estimator to estimate this … elasticity from disaggregate price and trade-flow data and we use it within Eaton and Kortum's (2002) Ricardian model. We apply … elasticity of roughly four, nearly fifty percent lower than Eaton and Kortum's (2002) approach. This difference doubles the …

Macroeconomic calibrations imply much larger labor supply elasticities than microeconometric studies. One prominent explanation for this divergence is that indivisible labor generates extensive margin responses that are not captured in micro studies of hours choices. We evaluate whether existing...

The first elasticity (labor supply) is the … elasticity (avoidance) through tax enforcement and tax neutrality across income forms. The optimal top tax rate increases with … the third elasticity (bargaining) as bargaining efforts are zero-sum in aggregate. We provide evidence using cross …

In a sample of over 27 million establishments of U.S. firms with activities in more than one state, we estimate the impact of state business taxation on business activity. Only firms organized as subchapter C corporations are subject to the corporate tax code, whereas the income of partnerships,...
