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...

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...

Making Work Pay': in a rationed labour market

Bargain, Olivier; Caliendo, Marco; Haan, Peter; Orsini, … - 2006

We assess the labour supply effects of two 'making work pay' reforms in Germany. We provide evidence in favour of policies that distinguish between low effort and low productivity by targeting individuals with low wages rather than individuals with low earnings. In assessing the policies we...

Apply with Caution: Introducing UK-Style In-work Support in Germany

Haan, Peter; Myck, Michał - 2006

Estimates of labour supply effects of recent UK reforms in the area of direct taxes and benefits show that policy can have significant influence on the level of employment. We confirm this in a simulation of in-work support system introduced into the German tax and benefit system. Our simulation...
