Steady-state labor supply elasticities : a survey
Bargain, Olivier; Peichl, Andreas - 2013
Previous reviews of static labor supply estimations concentrate mainly on the evidence from the 1980s and 1990s, Anglo-Saxon countries and early generations of labor supply modeling. This paper provides a fresh characterization of steady-state labor supply elasticities for Western Europe and the...

Structural labor supply models and wage exogeneity
Löffler, Max; Peichl, Andreas; Siegloch, Sebastian - 2014 - This version: June 24, 2014
There is still considerable dispute about the magnitude of labor supply elasticities. While differences in micro and macro estimates are recently attributed to frictions and adjustment costs, we show that relatively low labor supply elasticities derived from microeconometric models can also be...

Welfare analysis of fiscal reforms : does the representation of the family decision process matter : evidence for Germany
Beninger, Denis; Laisney, François; Beblo, Miriam - 2003
This paper compares predictions obtained for the analysis of tax reforms with collective and unitary models of household labour supply and consumption behaviour. We simulate real world microdata by means of a collective approach, using a compound procedure of estimation and calibration based on...

Do hours restrictions matter? : a discrete family labor supply model with endogenous wages and hours restrictions
Wolf, Elke - 1998
The labor supply of West German married and cohabiting couples is analyzed using a discrete choice model. Following van Soest (1995), the labor supply decision is based on a household utility function which is determined by the leisure of the two spouses and net household income. Furthermore,...

Short-run fertility effects of parental leave benefits : evidence from a structural model
Stichnoth, Holger - 2014
Based on a structural model of fertility and female labour force supply with unobserved heterogeneity and state dependence, we evaluate the 2007 reform of parental leave benefits in Germany, which replaced a flat, means-tested benefit by a generous earnings-related transfer. The model predicts a...

Completed fertility effects of family policy measures : evidence from a life-cycle model
Abiry, Raphael; Reuß, Karsten; Stichnoth, Holger - 2014
We estimate a structural life-cycle model of fertility and female labour supply and use it to evaluate the effects of a number of key family policy measures based on data for Germany. Parental leave benefits, child benefits and subsidized childcare are found to have substantial fertility...
