On Estimating the Effect of Taxation On Labor Supply: A Methodological and Empirical Comparison of Four Estimation Procedures

In the past few years there has been a resurgence of interest in the effects of a progressive tax on an individual's work effort. This resurgence has been in part a response to political efforts to reduce marginal tax rates and in part a response to advances in econometric techniques of estimating non-linear budget constraints. As a result there is a need to reexamine cross-sectional estimates of the male labor supply model, since additional estimates of the parameters of the male labor supply curve will provide a better understanding of an individual's labor supply response under a progressive tax scheme.
