本研究评估了为促进低工资就业而提出的各种补贴计划对德国家庭劳动力供应的影响。利用德国社会经济小组的数据，我们估计了家庭劳动力供给的离散选择模型。在估计夫妻劳动供给参数的基础上，我们模拟了不同政策在个人和家庭层面提高低劳动收入的参与和时间效应。在所有情况下，劳动力供给的影响是非常温和的。对个人的补贴促进了非全日制就业，特别是第二收入者的非全日制就业，而基于低家庭收入的补贴则将更合格的伴侣赶出劳动力市场，从而使劳动力市场参与者的总数甚至下降。
This research evaluates the impact on German household labor supply of various subsidy schemes proposed to foster low-wage employment. Using data from the German Socio- Economic Panel, we estimate a discrete choice model of household labor supply. On the basis of the estimated labor supply parameters of husbands and wives, we simulate participation and hours effects of different policies raising low labor earnings at the individual and household levels. In all cases, the labor supply effect is very moderate. Subsidies to individuals promote part-time employment, in particular of second earners, while subsidies based on low household income drive the better qualified partner out of the labor market so that the total number of labor market participants even declines.
