我们记录了19个经合组织国家已婚夫妇总劳动力供应的同期差异。我们量化了非线性劳动所得税和消费税以及男性和女性工资的国际差异对数据中国际差异的贡献。我们的模型复制了已婚男性工作时间的相对较小的差异，效果非常好。此外，税收和工资是美国与西欧、东欧和北方之间已婚妇女劳动力供给显著差异的主要原因，但不能解释南欧已婚妇女劳动力供给低的原因。
We document contemporaneous differences in the aggregate labor supply of married couples across 19 OECD countries. We quantify the contribution of international differences in non-linear labor income taxes and consumption taxes, as well as male and female wages, to the international differences in the data. Our model replicates the comparatively small differences of married men's hours worked very well. Moreover, taxes and wages account for a large part of the observed substantial differences in married women's labor supply between the US and Western, Eastern, and Northern Europe, but cannot explain the low labor supply of married women in Southern Europe.
