. The gains are a function of the domestic trade share and the long-run elasticity of trade with respect to iceberg trade … long-run elasticity cannot be estimated in one step by relying on tariff variation as shifters of trade costs. We show …, instead, that this object can be recovered by combining two tariff elasticity estimates: the long- and the short-run. Thus …

uncertainty, is the overall elasticity of taxable income. We provide new estimates of this elasticity which address identification … income, and on variation in the elasticity of taxable income by income group. We find that the overall elasticity of taxable … income is approximately 0.4; the elasticity of real income, not including tax preferences, is much lower. We also estimate …

This paper uses a panel of individual tax returns and the `bracket creep' as source of tax rate variation to construct instrumental variables estimates of the sensitivity of income to changes in tax rates. From 1979 to 1981, the US income tax schedule was fixed in nominal terms while inflation...

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 …

Demand elasticities and other features of demand are critical determinants of the answers to most positive and normative questions about market power or the functioning of markets in practice. As a result, reliable demand estimation is an essential input to many types of research in Industrial...

This paper reviews a variety of estimates of the demand and supply elasticities of educated labor. It finds that elasticities of substitution between more and less educated labor range fran 1.0 to 2.0 and that elasticities of the supply of students to colleges are also on the order of 1.0 to 2.0...

This paper investigates the magnitude of the elasticity of demand for labor in time series data using more general and … capital prices have an equal opposite effect to real wages in the demand equation. We show on measurement error grounds that … this constraint should not be imposed in econometric work even when long run homogeneity of prices correctly characterizes …
