We explore the implications of heterogeneity in the elasticity of taxable income (ETI) for tax-reform based estimation … illustrate the empirical importance of our theoretical analysis using the NBER tax panel for 1979-1990. We show that elasticity … suggested method yields elasticity estimates of approximately 0.7 for taxable income and 0.2 for broad income. …

We specify and estimate a dynamic structural life-cycle model of labor supply, retirement and savings decisions of single-adult and couple households. Drawing on our model, we study the interplay between family labor supply and public insurance mechanisms. By including family labor supply, we...

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...

We analyse the effects of retirement of one partner on home production by both partners in a couple. Using longitudinal data from Germany on couples, we control for fixed household specific effects to address the concern that retirement decisions are correlated with unobserved characteristics...
