(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2007-08)We model a standard competitive labour market where firms choose combinations of workers and hours per worker to produce output. If one assumes that the scale of production has no impact on hours per worker, then the ...
-
(The Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), 2006-03)Social assistance and inactivity traps have long been considered amongst the main causes of the poor employment performance of EU countries. The success of New Labour has triggered a growing interests in instruments capable ...
-
(Springer Netherlands, 2006)We suggest a methodology to calibrate a collective model with household-specific bargaining rules and marriage-specific preferences that incorporate leisure externalities. The empirical identification relies on the assumption ...
-
(Elsevier, 2007)The literature on household behavior contains hardly any empirical research on the within household distributional effects of tax-benefit policies. We simulate this effect in the framework of a collective model of labor ...
-
(Springer Netherlands, 2006)A widely shared intuition holds that individual control over money matters for the decision process within the household and the subsequent distribution of re- sources and welfare. As a consequence, there are good reasons ...
-
(Springer Netherlands, 2006)This paper proposes a comparison of the results of tax policy analysis obtained on the basis of unitary and collective representations of the household. We first generate labour supplies consistent with the collective ...

-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1999-11)This paper investigates the impact of own-health,and that of others, on individual labour supply. We estimate a model of hours of caring and hours of work using a large micro dataset of UK households. We find that own ill ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2010-10)In a competitive model we ease the assumption that efficiency units of labour are the product of hours and workers. We show that a minimum wage may either increase or decrease hours per worker and the change will have ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2007-08)Discrete choice models of labor supply easily account for nonlinearity and nonconvexity in budget sets caused by tax-benefit systems. As a result, they have become very popular for ex ante evaluations of policy reforms. ...
-
(Elsevier Science, 2004)The standard public economics analysis of the welfare cost of labour income taxation is based on the estimation of labour supply functions that treat unemployed individuals as non-participants. This paper applies econometric ...
