Comparing Labor Supply Elasticities in Europe and the US: New Results (2012, background): “One may rely on a particular tax reform (cf. Eissa and Hoynes, 2004, among others) or long-term variations (Blundell et al., 1998, Devereux, 2004).8 In our approach, identi cation is mainly provided by nonlinearities, nonconvexities and discontinuities in the budget constraint due to the taxbene t…”
The influence of wages on parents’ allocations of time to child care and market work in the United Kingdom (2009, methodology): “For example, a recent study by Devereux (2004) of 1980 and 1990 PUMS data from the U.S. found that labor supply among married women was modestly positively related to changes in their own wages and strongly egatively related to changes in their husbands’ wages, while labor supply among married mn…”
Means-testing and tax rates on earnings: a contribution to the Mirrlees Review (2009, methodology): “…and 0.77–0.89 respectively using cross-sectional data-sets from Italy, the UK and the US, and using significantly different modelling and estimation strategies. . . . Devereux (2004), however, finds a lower degree of responsiveness with the elasticity at the median family income equal to 0.17.’”
