Decoster, André - 2009
In this paper we use a sample of administrative data coming from the 'Dataware-house labour market and social protection' and the microsimulation model MIMOSIS to assess the labour supply effects of a reform of the rules for cumulating labour income with survival pension as proposed in the...

Tax progressivity and top incomes : evidence from tax reforms
Rubolino, Enrico; Waldenström, Daniel - 2017
We study the link between tax progressivity and top income shares. Using variation from large-scale Western tax reforms in the 1980s and 1990s and the novel synthetic control method, we find large and lasting boosting impacts on top income shares from the progressivity reductions. Effects are...

Getting tired of work, or re-tiring in absence of decent job opportunities? : some insights from an estimated random utility/random opportunity model on Belgian data
Capéau, Bart; Decoster, André - 2016
This paper exploits the distinction between preference and opportunity factors in a Random Utility and Random Opportunity (RURO) model of job choice (Aaberge, Dagsvik and Strøm, 1995, and Aaberge, Colombino and Strøm, 1999). We estimate the model on Belgian data (SILC 2007). To investigate to...

On Modeling Household Labor Supply with Taxation
Bargain, Olivier - 2005
Discrete-choice models provide a simple way of representing utility-maximizing labor supply decisions in the presence of highly nonlinear and possibly non-convex budget constraints. Thus, it is not surprising that they are so extensively used for ex-ante evaluation of taxbenefit reforms. The...

van Soest, Arthur; Stancanelli, Elena G. F. - 2010
We study the impact of income taxation on both partners' allocation of time to market work and unpaid house work in …'s. Tax policy simulations suggest that moving from joint taxation for married couples to separate taxation of each spouse … would go a small step in the direction of equalizing market and non-market work of spouses.

Labour supply and taxes : new estimates of the responses of wives to husbands' wages
Dostie, Benoît; Kromann, Lene - 2012
In this paper, we estimate income- and substitution- labour supply and participation elasticities for Canadian married women using data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics 1996-2005. We use the Canadian Tax and Credit Simulator (CTaCS) and detailed information on the structure of...

Heterogeneity and long-run changes in U.S. hours and the labor wedge
Cociuba, Simona E.; Ueberfeldt, Alexander - 2012
From 1980 until 2007, U.S. average hours worked increased by thirteen percent, due to a large increase in female hours. At the same time, the U.S. labor wedge, measured as the discrepancy between a representative household's marginal rate of substitution between consumption and leisure and the...

Own-wage labor supply elasticities: variation across time and estimation methods
Bargain, Olivier; Peichl, Andreas - In: IZA Journal of Labor Economics 5 (2016) 10, pp. 1-31
There is a huge variation in the size of labor supply elasticities in the literature, which hampers policy analysis. While recent studies show that preference heterogeneity across countries explains little of this variation, we focus on two other important features: observation period and...
