Although discrete hours choice models have become the workhorse in labor supply analyses. Yet, they are often criticized for being a black box due to their numerous underlying modeling assumptions, with respect to, e.g., the functional form, unobserved error components or several exogeneity...

The effect of demographic change on the labor force and on fiscal revenues is topical in light of potential pension shortfalls. This paper evaluates the effect of demographic changes between 2010 and 2030 on labor force participation and government budgets in the EU-27. Our analysis involves the...

There is still considerable dispute about the magnitude of labor supply elasticities. While differences in estimates especially between micro and macro models are recently attributed to frictions and adjustment costs, we show that the variation in elasticities derived from structural labor...

In diesem Beitrag analysieren wir den aktuellen Einkommensteuervorschlag von Paul Kirchhof im Hinblick auf Zielkonflikte zwischen Steueraufkommen, Verteilungswirkungen und Effizienzgesichtspunkten. Wir kommen zu dem Ergebnis, dass der aktuelle Kirchhof-Vorschlag politisch kaum durchsetzbar sein...

In this contribution we analyze Paul Kirchhof's income tax policy proposal with regard to conflicting goals of tax revenue, distributional effects and efficiency considerations. While effects on labor supply are moderate, the tax policy proposal reduces government budget revenue by 20 billion...
