Gender Based Taxation and the Division of Family Chores
Alesina, Alberto F. - 2010
Gender-Based Taxation (GBT) satisfies Ramsey's rule of optimality because it taxes at a lower rate the more elastic labor supply of women. This holds when different elasticities between men and women are taken as exogenous. We study GBT in a model in which labor supply elasticities emerge...

Gender Based Taxation and the Division of Family Chores
Alesina, Alberto F.; Ichino, Andrea; Karabarbounis, Loukas - 2021
Gender Based Taxation (GBT) satisfies Ramsey's optimal criterion by taxing less the more elastic labor supply of (married) women. This holds when different elasticities between men and women are taken as exogenous and primitive. But in this paper we also explore differences in gender...

Doepke, M.; Tertilt, M. - In: Handbook of macroeconomics : volume 2, v. 2A-2B SET, (pp. 1789-1891). 2016
Much of macroeconomics is concerned with the allocation of physical capital, human capital, and labor over time and across people. The decisions on savings, education, and labor supply that generate these variables are made within families. Yet the family (and decision making in families) is...

Szulga, Radek S. - 2013
This paper develops a dynamic model of human capital investment and labor participation. The main focus is on the fact that women's labor force participation rate is U-shaped over the course of development. We also analyze the behavior of the relative education levels of men and women, the...

Household labor supply and home services in a general-equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents
Bredemeier, Christian (contributor);  … - 2009
We propose a new explanation for differences and changes in labor supply by gender and marital status, and in particular for the increase in married women's labor supply over time. We argue that this increase as well as the relative constancy of other groups' hours are optimal reactions to...
