尽管有许多关于劳动力供给的研究,但弹性的大小在各国之间很少有可比性。在本文中,我们建议对弹性进行第一次大规模的国际比较,同时排除由于方法,数据选择和调查时间而可能存在的差异。我们采用了17个欧洲国家和美国的可比数据,采用了一种常见的实证方法,并对影响家庭预算的税收优惠政策进行了全面模拟。我们发现,工资弹性很小,各国之间的差异也比以前认为的要小,例如,在。2和。已婚妇女6岁。结果对几个建模假设是稳健的。我们表明,税收福利制度或人口构成的差异几乎不能解释跨国差异,为其他解释留下了空间,特别是在异质工作偏好方面。我们得出了研究最优税收的重要启示。
Despite numerous studies on labor supply, the size of elasticities is rarely comparable across countries. In this paper, we suggest the first large-scale international comparison of elasticities, while netting out possible differences due to methods, data selection and the period of investigation. We rely on comparable data for 17 European countries and the US, a common empirical approach and a complete simulation of tax-benefit policies affecting household budgets. We find that wage-elasticities are small and vary less across countries than previously thought, e.g., between .2 and .6 for married women. Results are robust to several modeling assumptions. We show that differences in tax-benefit systems or demographic compositions explain little of the cross-country variation, leaving room for other interpretations, notably in terms of heterogeneous work preferences. We derive important implications for research on optimal taxation.
