Using a large set of existing estimates of wage and income elasticities, I find a mean estimate of g = 1. I also give … a calibration argument showing that a positive uncompensated wage elasticity, as found in most studies of labor supply …

compensated elasticity of income with respect to tax rates. These models are used to perform simulations of bunching and calibrate … the key parameters (the behavioral elasticity and the extent to which taxpayers control their income) to the empirical … income distributions. Except for low income earners, the behavioral elasticity consistent with the empirical results is small …

I derive a formula for the coefficient of relative risk aversion (g) in terms of (1) the ratio of the income … elasticity of labor supply to the wage elasticity and (2) the degree of complementarity between consumption and labor. I bound … labor supply elasticity estimates from thirty-three studies, I find a mean estimate of g = 1. I then show that generating g …

These estimates, based on … comparisons between very similar groups, are robust to underlying changes in the income distribution, such as a rise in inequality …

This paper estimates the impact of external demand shocks on real income. Our empirical strategy is based on a first … framework allows us to measure foreign shocks and characterize their impact on income in terms of reduced-form elasticities.
