    Employer Wage Subsidy Caps and Part-Time Work (2023)

    Elvery, Joel A., C. Lockwood Reynolds & Shawn M. Rohlin (2023): Employer Wage Subsidy Caps and Part-Time Work. In: ILR review, Jg. 76, H. 1, S. 189-209. DOI:10.1177/00197939221102865

    Abstract

    "Using tract-level US Census data and triple-difference estimators, the authors test whether firms increase their use of part-time workers when faced with capped wage subsidies. By limiting the maximum subsidy per worker, such subsidies create incentives for firms to increase the share of their payroll that is eligible for the subsidy by increasing use of part-time or low-wage workers. Results suggest that firms located in federal Empowerment Zones in the United States responded to the program’s capped wage subsidies by expanding their use of part-time workers, particularly in locations where the subsidy cap is likely to bind. Results also show a shift toward hiring lower-skill workers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Inclusive Monetary Policy: How Tight Labor Markets Facilitate Broad-Based Employment Growth (2022)

    Bergman, Nittai K., David Matsa & Michael Weber (2022): Inclusive Monetary Policy: How Tight Labor Markets Facilitate Broad-Based Employment Growth. (CESifo working paper 9512), München, 45 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper analyzes the heterogeneous effects of monetary policy on workers with differing levels of labor force attachment. Exploiting variation in labor market tightness across metropolitan areas, we show that the employment of populations with lower labor force attachment—Blacks, high school dropouts, and women—is more responsive to expansionary monetary policy in tighter labor markets. The effect builds up over time and is long lasting. We develop a New Keynesian model with heterogeneous workers that rationalizes these results. The model shows that expansionary monetary shocks lead to larger increases in the employment of less attached workers when the central bank follows an average inflation targeting rule and when the Phillips curve is flatter. These findings suggest that, by tightening labor markets, the Federal Reserve’s recent move from a strict to an average inflation targeting framework especially benefits workers with lower labor force attachment."

    Would Broadening the UI Tax Base Help Low-Income Workers? (2022)

    Duggan, Mark, Audrey Guo & Andrew C. Johnston (2022): Would Broadening the UI Tax Base Help Low-Income Workers? (IZA discussion paper 15020), Bonn, 12 S.

    Abstract

    "The tax base for state unemployment insurance (UI) programs varies significantly in the U.S., from a low of $7,000 annually in California to a high of $52,700 in Washington. Previous research has provided surprisingly little guidance to policy makers regarding the tradeoffs associated with this variation. In this paper, we use 37 years of data for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. to estimate the impact of the UI tax base on labor-market outcomes. We find that the low tax base that exists in California and many other states (and the necessarily higher tax rates that accompany these) negatively affects labor market outcomes for part-time and other low-earning workers."

    The U.S. tax-transfer system and low-income households: Savings, labor supply, and household formation (2022)

    Ortigueira, Salvador & Nawid Siassi (2022): The U.S. tax-transfer system and low-income households: Savings, labor supply, and household formation. In: Review of Economic Dynamics, Jg. 44, S. 184-210. DOI:10.1016/j.red.2021.02.010

    Abstract

    "Eligibility and benefits for anti-poverty income transfers in the U.S. are based on both the means and the household characteristics of applicants, such as their filing status, living arrangement, and marital status. In this paper we develop a dynamic structural model to study the effects of the U.S. tax-transfer system on the decisions of non-college-educated workers with children. In our model workers face uninsurable idiosyncratic risks and make decisions on savings, labor supply, living arrangement, and marital status. We find that the U.S. anti-poverty policy distorts the cohabitation/marriage decision of single mothers, providing incentives to cohabit. We also find quantitatively important effects on savings, and on the labor supply of husbands and wives. Namely, the model yields a U-shaped relationship between the earnings of one spouse and the labor supply of the other spouse, a result that we also find in the data. We show that these U-shaped relationships stem in part from the current design of anti-poverty income programs, and that the introduction of an EITC deduction on the earnings of secondary earners—as proposed in the 21st Century Worker Tax Cut Act—would increase the employment rate of the spouses of workers earning between $15K and $35K, especially of female spouses."

    Who Does the Earned Income Tax Credit Benefit?: A Monopsony View (2021)

    Farmand, Aida & Owen Davis (2021): Who Does the Earned Income Tax Credit Benefit? A Monopsony View. (Working paper / Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis 2021-02), New York, NY, 45 S.

    Abstract

    "The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) targets refundable tax credits to low-income workers, incentivizing labor supply and raising the incomes of tens of millions of Americans. One possible consequence of subsidizing low-wage work, however, is to reduce wage growth. A monopsony model of the EITC is developed in order to analyze its impacts on labor market outcomes, which are identified by exploiting variation in state EITC supplements. A first set of results focused on the food service industry find that the EITC increases employment and reduces turnover among young women. Further results suggest that the EITC reduces wages for workers without college degrees. These findings prompt a reconsideration of the redistributive effects of the EITC, particularly for groups like older low-wage workers who face slower wage growth as a result of the policy but do not receive the same level of benefits on average."

    Hammer, Bernhard, Michael Christl & Silvia De Poli (2021): Redistribution across Europe: How much and to whom? (JRC working papers on taxation and structural reforms 2021-14), Seville, 28 S.

    Abstract

    "Governments face a potential trade-off between provision for the growing population in retirement and the support of working-age households with low income. Using EUROMOD-based microdata from 28 countries, we (a) quantify the redistribution to the pensioner and non-pensioner populations, (b) study the position of net beneficiaries in the overall income distribution and (c) analyse how taxes and benefits affect the working-age population with low income. Our results provide novel insights into the distributive role of tax-benefit systems across Europe. Interestingly, a strong overall redistribution between households is associated with generous pensions for a portion of the retirees but negatively related to support for low-income households."

    Conditional Earnings Subsidies for Low Earners (2020)

    Ooghe, Erwin (2020): Conditional Earnings Subsidies for Low Earners. In: The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, Jg. 122, H. 2, S. 524-552. DOI:10.1111/sjoe.12358

    Abstract

    "Having low earnings is often not sufficient to be eligible for in-work tax credits. In the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Ireland, for example, eligibility also requires that the number of hours worked is sufficiently high. Similarly, in France and Belgium the hourly wage rate must be sufficiently low. This paper provides a justification for such additional conditions. I analyse Pareto efficient redistribution from high to low ability individuals in a model where labour has several intensive margins. Besides labour hours, also labour effort - a vector of unpleasant, but productive features of labour - is an object of choice. Effort and ability determine the hourly wage rate. I find that conditional earnings subsidies for low earners are optimal: the earning of low earners should be subsidized at the margin, but only if they earn more by working more hours at a sufficiently low wage rate."

    Abstract

    "This article examines the relationship between tax credits and in-work poverty, drawing on the findings from a major national study on in-work poverty. We present an analysis of (i) the income packages of working families and (ii) the performance of tax credits in relation to anti-poverty objectives, drawing on data from the Households Below Average Income survey between 2004/5 and 2014/15. Our study generates five novel findings, including that tax credits reduce the poverty gap of recipient households by two-thirds; that tax credit cuts post-2010/11 have served to focus payments on single parent families and households with greater numbers of children; and that tax credits make up just one third of the social security income of working households. We argue that understanding in greater depth the interaction between tax credits and income adequacy amongst working families is necessary to provide a firmer foundation for an effective assault on in-work poverty."

    Abstract

    "In diesem Forschungsprojekt werden die Aufkommens- und Verteilungswirkungen eines Entlastungsbetrags für Sozialversicherungsbeiträge bei der Einkommensteuer (SV-Entlastungsbetrag) analysiert. Dieser Steuerabzug entlastet niedrige Arbeitseinkommen, indem die Arbeitnehmerbeiträge zu den Sozialversicherungen sowie gleichwertige Vorsorgeaufwendungen bis zu einem Höchstbetrag von der Einkommensteuerschuld abgezogen werden, zum Beispiel bis 50 Euro, 100 Euro oder 150 Euro im Monat. Der SV-Entlastungsbetrag wird als Negativsteuer ausgezahlt, wenn er die Einkommensteuerschuld übersteigt. Der SV-Entlastungsbetrag wird gekürzt um die steuerliche Entlastungswirkung, die durch den Abzug der Sozialversicherungsbeiträge als Vorsorgeaufwendungen entsteht. Dadurch wird er bei steigenden Einkommen abgeschmolzen und nur bis zu mittleren Arbeitseinkommen gewährt, sofern keine Verluste aus anderen Einkünften oder höhere Abzüge das zu versteuernde Einkommen mindern."

    Abstract

    "Governments across the European Union (EU) have been striving to get more people into work while at the same time acknowledging that more needs to be done to 'make work pay'. Yet this drive comes at a time when structural economic shifts are putting pressure on wages, especially of less skilled workers. This article focuses on trends in minimum wages, income taxes and work-related benefits within a selection of 15 EU countries, for the period 2001 - 2012, with three US states included as reference cases. We find evidence for eroding relative minimum wages in various EU countries, yet combined with catch-up growth in the new member states. We also find that governments counteracted eroding minimum wages through direct income support measures, especially for lone parents. Most prevalent among these were substantial declines in income tax liabilities." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Labor supply under participation and hours constraints: an extended structural model for policy evaluations (2018)

    Müller, Kai-Uwe, Michael Neumann & Katharina Wrohlich (2018): Labor supply under participation and hours constraints. An extended structural model for policy evaluations. (IZA discussion paper 12003), Bonn, 50 S.

    Abstract

    "The paper extends a static discrete-choice labor supply model by adding participation and hours constraints. We identify restrictions by survey information on the eligibility and search activities of individuals as well as actual and desired hours. This provides for a more robust identification of preferences and constraints. Both, preferences and restrictions are allowed to vary by and are related through observed and unobserved characteristics. We distinguish various restrictions mechanisms: labor demand rationing, working hours norms varying across occupations, and insufficient public childcare on the supply side of the market. The effect of these mechanisms is simulated by relaxing different constraints at a time. We apply the empirical frame- work to evaluate an in-work benefit for low-paid parents in the German institutional context. The benefit is supposed to increase work incentives for secondary earners. Based on the structural model we are able to disentangle behavioral reactions into the pure incentive effect and the limiting impact of constraints at the intensive and extensive margin. We find that the in-work benefit for parents substantially increases working hours of mothers of young children, especially when they have a low education. Simulating the effects of restrictions shows their substantial impact on employment of mothers with young children." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "In-work benefits (IWBs) have become very common transfer programs that seek to meet both efficiency and equity targets. An expanding literature has assessed the effects of these policies on income distribution and labor supply showing important implications for female labor participation. In this paper, we estimate the distributional and behavioral impacts of a simulated IWB in Spain based on the replacement of the existing working mother tax credit (WMTC) using as a reference the US Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). We simulate the effects of the proposed scheme using EUROMOD and a discrete choice model of labor supply. Our results show that the enhancement of the proposed IWB would have significant and positive effects both in terms of female labor participation and inequality and poverty reduction. The introduction of this IWB would generate a substantial increase in labor participation at the extensive margin and a non-negligible reduction at the intensive margin."

    The role of aggregate preferences for labor supply: evidence from low-paid employment (2017)

    Haywood, Luke & Michael Neumann (2017): The role of aggregate preferences for labor supply. Evidence from low-paid employment. (DIW-Diskussionspapiere 1652), Berlin, 56 S.

    Abstract

    "Labor supply in the market for low-paid jobs in Germany is strongly influenced by tax exemptions - even for individuals to whom these exemptions do not apply. We present compelling evidence that an individual's choice set depends on other workers' preferences because firms cater their job offers to aggregate preferences in the market. We estimate an equilibrium job search model which rationalizes the strong earnings bunching at the tax exemption threshold using German administrative data. We then simulate modifications to the tax schedule that remove the discontinuity and thus the bunching at the threshold. Results highlight the indirect costs of (discontinuous) tax policies which are shown to be reinforced by firm responses: Workers who would work anyway are hurt by subsidies benefiting groups who enter the market as a result of tax incentives."

    Abstract

    "This paper asks what governments in the EU Member States and some US states are doing to support workers on low wages. Using model family simulations, we assess the policy measures currently in place to guarantee an adequate disposable income to working families, taking into account minimum wages, social security contributions, taxes and cash benefits. We show that despite increased efforts over the past decade, disposable incomes of certain types of minimum wage workers still fall well below the EU at-risk-of-poverty thresholds in many countries. Single earners with dependent children are especially at risk of poverty. We discuss the options for making progress." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    The impact of in-work benefits on employment and poverty (2017)

    Abstract

    "This article studies the impact of design characteristics of in-work benefits on employment and poverty in an international comparative setting, taking account of both first and second order labour supply effects. We use the micro-simulation model EUROMOD, which has been enriched with a discrete labour supply model. The analysis is performed for four EU-member states: Belgium, Italy, Poland and Sweden. The results show that design characteristics matter substantially, though the specific effects differ in magnitude across countries, indicating there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Throughout the analysis, numerous trade-offs are uncovered: not only between employment and poverty goals, but also within employment incentives itself (extensive vs. intensive margin). Taking account of behavioural reactions attenuates the impact on poverty outcomes, signalling the importance of bringing these effects into the empirical analysis."

    Abstract

    "Die positive Beschäftigungsentwicklung in Deutschland hält an und der Arbeitsmarkt ist in einer guten Grundverfassung. Dennoch ist die Zahl der Menschen, die gleichzeitig Leistungen der Grundsicherung und ein Erwerbseinkommen erhalten, in den letzten Jahren nahezu unverändert geblieben. Diese erwerbstätigen Arbeitslosengeld-II-Bezieher, die sogenannten Aufstocker, stehen im besonderen Fokus von Arbeitsmarkt- und Sozialpolitik. Die Haushaltsbefragung 'Arbeitsmarkt und Soziale Sicherung' zeigt für das Jahr 2013, dass die Tätigkeiten von Aufstockern oft durch eine geringe Stundenzahl und/oder geringe Stundenlöhne gekennzeichnet sind. Ihre Beschäftigungssituation könnte sich verbessern, wenn sie nach einer anderen oder weiteren Tätigkeit suchen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Abstract

    "This paper presents the final economic results of the UK Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) programme. ERA's distinctive combination of post-employment advisory support and financial incentives was designed to help low-income individuals who entered work sustain employment and advance in the labour market. ERA targeted three groups. ERA produced short-term earnings gains for two lone parent target groups. However, these effects generally faded after the programme ended, largely because the control group caught up with the ERA group. For the New Deal 25 Plus target group (mostly long term unemployed men), ERA produced modest but sustained increases in employment and earnings." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Money has meaning that shapes its uses and social significance, including the monies low-income families draw on for survival: wages, welfare, and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This study, based on in-depth interviews with 115 low-wage EITC recipients, reveals the EITC is an unusual type of government transfer. Recipients of the EITC say they value the debt relief this government benefit brings. However, they also perceive it as a just reward for work, which legitimizes a temporary increase in consumption. Furthermore, unlike other means-tested government transfers, the credit is seen as a springboard for upward mobility. Thus, by conferring dignity and spurring dreams, the EITC enhances feelings of citizenship and social inclusion." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Matthew runs Amok: The Belgian service voucher scheme (2014)

    Marx, Ive & Dieter Vandelannoote (2014): Matthew runs Amok: The Belgian service voucher scheme. (IZA discussion paper 8717), Bonn, 20 S.

    Abstract

    "In response to structurally poor job prospects for the least skilled, a number of European countries have introduced measures to boost domestic services employment. No country has done so with more fervour than Belgium. Belgian consumers can use the so-called 'Service Vouchers' to pay for a limited but high volume range of domestic services like cleaning, washing and ironing. It is probably the most heavily subsidized scheme of its kind in Europe - more than 70 per cent of the cost of services rendered to individual consumers is borne by the state. Not surprisingly, the scheme has proved tremendously popular. This contribution argues that the scheme is facing a number of particular problems and challenges. While initially many of the people employed under the scheme had experienced past unemployment spells, new recruitment has increasingly drawn on the ranks of those already in work. Furthermore, entrapment in service voucher jobs is rife, going against the purported objective of the scheme in offering a stepping stone to the regular market. Another worrying aspect is that there is some evidence of partial displacement of regular skilled workers. The principal winners are the generally highly educated, relatively well-earning service voucher users who can now outsource domestic chores at a bargain price in the regular market, gaining leisure and care time as well as getting in return more trustworthy, reliable and better quality services than would otherwise be obtainable."
