Bounds on Elasticities with Optimization Frictions: A Synthesis of Micro and Macro Evidence on Labor Supply (2012, background): “One may also question the validity of the estimates in Panel D because of the many omitted variables and other factors that could bias cross-sectional comparisons (Alesina, Glaeser, and Sacerdote 2005).”
Does Indivisible Labor Explain the Difference between Micro and Macro Elasticities? A Meta-Analysis of Extensive Margin Elasticities (2013, neutral): “Other factors, such as institutions or regulations, could also play a signifi cant role in explaining cross- country hours differences (Alesina, Glaeser, and Sacerdote 2005).”
Does Culture Affect Unemployment? Evidence from the Röstigraben (2009, methodology): “The parameters in model (1) then represent the reduced form parameters obtained by replacing Ec(Yi) in the linear-in-means model and solving for the underlying determinants.”
The Wage Elasticity of Labour Supply: A Synthesis of Empirical Estimates (2008, background): “Alesina et al. (2005), however, maintain that this story would require an unrealistically large value of the uncompensated elasticity of labour supply. Some studies have tried to explain the wide dispersion in empirical estimates of the uncompensated labour supply elasticity in the literature. A typ”

Automatic Stabilizers and Economic Crisis: US vs. Europe (2012, neutral): “…simulate the sensitivity of poverty indicators with respect to macro level changes. higher (marginal) tax rates in general (e.g. Prescott (2004) or Alesina et al. (2005)) and discuss to what extent differences in economic outcomes such as hours worked can be explained by different tax structures.”
