Abstract In the US South, private forest landowners own the majority of timberland, therefore, understanding timber supply behavior of these landowners is a fundamental forest economic question. This study estimates the pine stumpage supply equations and elasticities of private landowners in...

In course of the current energy crisis, the consequences of increasing gas prices are heavily discussed. To date …, however, there is no evidence of the impact of gas prices on the labor market. Using administrative employment data from 2012 …-2020, we find for manufacturing establishments a gas price elasticity of labor demand of -0.02, likely reflecting a scale …

Using data on U.S. adults from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), we estimate the causal income elasticity of … alike. Results suggest an income elasticity magnitude of 0.823 for all adults, which implies that a 10 percent increase in …

A series of articles beginning with Basu and Van (1989) argue that a ban on child labour may be self-enforcing in the sense that, once an equilibrium where only adults work is established, parents may have no incentive to depart from it, and the ban is no longer required. This important result...

Our empirical analysis estimates this growth elasticity for a data set … elasticity of bottom sensitive general means is positive, but significantly smaller than one. This suggests that the incomes of …

It is generally presumed that strengthening the legal enforcement of lender rights increases credit access for all borrowers, by expanding the set of incentive-compatible loan contracts. This presumption is based on an implicit assumption of infinitely elastic supply of loans. With inelastic...

This paper exploits a combination of policy variation from multiple pension reforms in Austria and administrative data from the Austrian Social Security Database. Using the policy changes for identification, we estimate social security wealth and accrual elasticities in individuals’...

This paper estimates the impact of external demand shocks on real income. Our empirical strategy is based on a first order approximation to a wide class of small open economy models that feature sector-level gravity in trade flows. The framework allows us to measure foreign shocks and...
