TL;DR: The first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17 European countries and the United States using a harmonized empirical approach was made by as mentioned in this paper, who found that own-wage elasticities are relatively small and more uniform across countries than previously considered.
Abstract: We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17 European countries and the United States using a harmonized empirical approach. We find that own-wage elasticities are relatively small and more uniform across countries than previously considered. Nonetheless, such differences do exist, and are found not to arise from different tax-benefit systems, wage/hour levels, or demographic compositions across countries, suggesting genuine differences in work preferences across countries. Furthermore, three other findings are consistent across countries: The extensive margin dominates the intensive margin; for singles, this leads to larger responses in low-income groups; and income elasticities are extremely small.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the effectiveness of the tax and transfer systems in the EU and the US to provide income insurance through automatic stabilization in the recent economic crisis and found that automatic stabilizers absorb 38% of a proportional income shock in EU, compared to 32% in the US.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an 11-year panel of data on 11,441 German municipalities' tax rates, 8 percent of which change each year, linked to administrative matchedemployer-employee data.
Abstract: Because of endogeneity problems very few studies have been able to identify
the incidence of corporate taxes on wages. We circumvent these problems
by using an 11-year panel of data on 11,441 German municipalities' tax
rates, 8 percent of which change each year, linked to administrative matched
employer-employee data. Consistent with our theoretical model, we find a
negative effect of corporate taxation on wages: a 1 euro increase in tax liabilities
yields a 77 cent decrease in the wage bill. The direct wage effect, arising
in a collective bargaining context, dominates, while the conventional indirect
wage effect through reduced investment is empirically small due to regional labor
mobility. High and medium-skilled workers, who arguably extract higher
rents in collective agreements, bear a larger share of the corporate tax burden.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a comprehensive meta-regression analysis to re-assess the empirical literature on labor demand elasticities, identifying sources of variation in the absolute value of this elasticity Heterogeneity due to the theoretical and empirical specification of the labor demand model, different datasets used or sectors and countries considered explains more than 80% of the variation in estimates.
Abstract: Firms' labor demand responses to wage changes are of key interest in empirical research and policy analysis However, despite extensive research, estimates of labor demand elasticities remain subject to considerable heterogeneity In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive meta-regression analysis to re-assess the empirical literature on labor demand elasticities Building on 942 elasticity estimates from 105 different studies, we identify sources of variation in the absolute value of this elasticity Heterogeneity due to the theoretical and empirical specification of the labor demand model, different datasets used or sectors and countries considered explains more than 80% of the variation in the estimates We further find substantial evidence for the presence of publication selection bias, as estimates of the own-wage elasticity of labor demand are upwardly inflated

TL;DR: This article investigated whether income inequality affects subsequent growth in a cross-country sample for 1965-90, using the models of Barro (1997), Bleaney and Nishiyama (2002) and Sachs and Warner (1997) with negative results.
Abstract: We investigate whether income inequality affects subsequent growth in a cross-country sample for 1965-90, using the models of Barro (1997), Bleaney and Nishiyama (2002) and Sachs and Warner (1997), with negative results. We then investigate the evolution of income inequality over the same period and its correlation with growth. The dominating feature is inequality convergence across countries. This convergence has been significantly faster amongst developed countries. Growth does not appear to influence the evolution of inequality over time. Outline

TL;DR: It is concluded that multiple Imputation for Nonresponse in Surveys should be considered as a legitimate method for answering the question of why people do not respond to survey questions.
