We investigate the short-term labor supply responses to a Conditional Cash Transfers program in Peru. Rather than comparing treated and non-treated households, we examine how benefit recipients change their labor supply after receiving the cash transfer. Our empirical strategy exploits exogenous...

The effects of cash transfers on adult labor market outcomes

Baird, Sarah; McKenzie, David J.; Özler, Berk - In: IZA Journal of development and migration 8 (2018) 22, pp. 1-20

The basic economic model of labor supply has a very clear prediction of what we should expect when an adult receives an unexpected cash windfall: they should work less and earn less. This intuition underlies concerns that many types of cash transfers, ranging from government benefits to migrant...

Labor Supply Prediction when Tax Avoidance Matters

Agell, Jonas; Persson, Mats; Sacklén, Hans - 1999

We examine how tax avoidance in the form of trade in well-functioning asset markets affects the empirical study of labor supply. We discuss the implications for tax policy analysis, and we show that a failure to account for avoidance responses may lead to huge errors when predicting how tax...

Long-term care reform and the labor supply of household members : evidence from a quasi-experiment

Geyer, Johannes; Korfhage, Thorben - 2015

Germany introduced a new mandatory insurance for long-term care in 1995 as part of its social security system. It replaced a system based on meanstested social welfare. Benefits from the long-term care insurance are not means tested and depend on the required level of care. The insurance...

The sensitivity of structural labor supply estimations to modeling assumptions

Löffler, Max; Peichl, Andreas; Siegloch, Sebastian - 2018

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...
