Does labor supply respond to a flat tax? Evidence from the Russian tax reform
Duncan, Denvil; Sabirianova, Klara Z. - 2009
We exploit the exogenous change in marginal tax rates created by the Russian flat tax reform of 2001 to identify the effect of taxes on labor supply of males and females. We apply the weighted difference-in-difference regression approach and instrumental variables to the labor supply function...

Wage Elasticity of the Teacher Supply in Switzerland
Wolter, Stefan C.; Denzler, Stefan - 2003
In order to learn more about the wage elasticity of the teacher supply in Switzerland, this paper estimates wages for …-1999. The data allows us to estimate the wage elasticity for entry wages of upper secondary school teachers. In the cases … examined, the wage differential is highly significant and shows a wage elasticity for the teacher supply of 0.12% to 0 …

Overtime Work Dual Job Holding and Taxation
Frederiksen, Anders; Graversen, Ebbe Krogh; Smith, Nina - 2001
Traditionally, labour supply data do not include much information on hours and wages in secondary job or overtime work. In this paper, we estimate labour supply models based on survey information on hours and wages in overtime work and second job which is merged to detailed register information...

A Belgian flat income tax: Effects on labour supply and income distribution
Decoster, André; De Swerdt, Kris; Orsini, Kristian - 2008
The adverse distributional effects of a flat tax are well known and have been documented by empirical research in several countries, including Belgium. Advocates of the flat tax argue, correctly, that many of these studies do not take into account agents' behavioural reactions and possible feed...

Comparing labor supply elasticities in Europe and the US: New results
Bargain, Olivier; Orsini, Kristian; Peichl, Andreas - 2012
We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17 European countries and the US, separately by gender and marital status. Measurement differences are netted out by using a harmonized empirical approach and comparable data sources. We find that own-wage...

Labor supply elasticities in Europe and the US
Bargain, Olivier; Orsini, Kristian; Peichl, Andreas - 2011
Despite numerous studies on labor supply, the size of elasticities is rarely comparable across countries. In this paper, we suggest the first large-scale international comparison of elasticities, while netting out possible differences due to methods, data selection and the period of...

Estimating labour supply elasticities based on cross-country micro data: A bridge between micro and macro estimates?
Jäntti, Markus; Pirttilä, Jukka; Selin, Håkan - 2013
We utilise repeated cross sections of micro data from several countries, available from the Luxembourg Income Study, LIS, to estimate labour supply elasticities, both at the intensive and extensive margin. The benefit of the data is that it spans over four decades and includes a large number of...
