Estimates of a Labour Supply Function Using Alternative Measures of Hours of Work
Klevmarken, N. Anders - 2004

The abolition of the earnings rule for UK pensioners
Disney, Richard; Tanner, Sarah - 2000
The US has legislated to abolish its social security earnings test. A priori it is not possible to predict the effect this will have on work incentives. Using data from the Family Expenditure Survey we show that the abolition of the earnings rule in the UK increased the number of hours worked by...
