20世纪80年代的S税制改革和工资差距的变化为评估劳动力供给效应提供了一个最好的机会。然而，样本构成的变化、总体冲击、纳税人口构成的变化以及税收制度的不连续性造成了严重的识别和估计问题。我们开发了分组估计器来解决这些问题。我们的结果显示了正的和中等规模的工资弹性。我们：我们还发现，有孩子的女性的收入会产生负面影响。
The 1980's tax reforms and the changing dispersion of wages offer one of the best opportunities yet to estimate labor supply effects. Nevertheless, changing sample composition, aggregate shocks, the changing composition of the tax paying population, and discontinuities in the tax system create serious identification and estimation problems. We develop grouping estimators that address these issues. Our results reveal positive and moderately sized wage elasticities. We: also find negative income effects for women with children.
