Marginal deadweight loss when the income tax is nonlinear (2019, background): “…modest evidence of bunching, for elderly US workers who are both working and receiving social security benefits (Burtless and Moffitt (1984) and Friedberg (2000)), above the first eligibility threshold for the UK earned income tax credit (Blundell and Hoynes, 2004) or for the Australian Higher…”
Framing Social Security Reform: Behavioral Responses to Changes in the Full Retirement Age (2012, background): “Although this reduction is compensated by increased benefits at older ages (making it more or less neutral in terms of SS wealth), it may be felt as a disincentive to claim benefits by those who intend to continue working (Friedberg, 2000; Gruber and Orszag, 2003; Haider and Loughran, 2008).”
THE LABOUR SUPPLY EFFECT OF THE ABOLITION OF THE EARNINGS RULE FOR OLDER WORKERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM (2002, unknown): “As Friedberg (2000) points out, however, their procedure is unappealing in the context of the earnings test since much of the ‘action’ is expected to derive precisely from the behaviour of those at the kink.”
The Link between Pensions and Retirement Timing: Lessons from California Teachers. Conference Paper 2009-12. (2009, unknown): “With the pooled pre- and post-reform data it is expected that the elasticity is effectively estimated from reform-based variation in the net wage, similar to Friedberg (2000).”
Does the Social Security Earnings Test Affect Labor Supply and Benefits Receipt? (2000, background): “Second, the structural estimation of Friedberg (2000) and others requires assumptions on endogeneity of the wage rate (that may or may not be met) in order to identify the estimates.”
Labor Supply Effects of Social Insurance (2002, background): “Friedberg (2000) finds evidence suggesting that some workers do respond to the earnings test because the earnings distributions of 63-69 year old workers tend to display excess clustering just below the relevant earnings thresholds. Moreover, the mass in the distribution just below the threshold mov”
Elderly Labor Supply (2001, background): “…amount of labor income, or taxation of Social Security benefits above certain income levels reduce elderly labor supply [Gruber and Orszag 2000; Friedberg 1998].5 ERISA and Medicare may also affect the demand for elderly workers, although, again, there is little empirical evidence on this…”
