Income taxation in an empirical collective household labour supply model with discrete hours

We present a model of the time-allocation decision of spouses in order to study the role of heterogeneity in preferences and wages for couples' labor supply. Spouses differ in their tastes for market consumption and non-market goods and activities, and also in their offered or earned wages. They...

Keeping up with the Joneses : income comparisons and labour supply ; conference paper
Goerke, Laszlo; Pannenberg, Markus - 2013 - Preliminary version August 07, 2013
We investigate whether working time is related to the intensity of income comparisons and relative income. Our simple theoretical model demonstrates that the effects of relative income concerns depend on whether an individual can choose contractual working hours and/or overtime. In the empirical...

Windfall gains and labour supply : evidence from the European household panel
Sila, Urban; Sousa, Ricardo M. - In: IZA Journal of Labor Economics 3 (2014), pp. 1-27
We investigate whether workers adjust hours worked in response to windfall gains using data from the European Household Panel. The results suggest that a rise in unearned income has a negative (although small) effect on working hours. In particular, after receiving a windfall gain, individuals...
