PublicationOn the measurement of the elasticity of labourWe use a simple theoretical framework, a building block of many macroeconomic models, to study the prominently debated relationship between the model parametrisation of the Frisch elasticity and the reduced-form evidence on the elasticity of labour. Focusing on tax holidays, we show that the elasticity measured with a reduced-form approach is only equal to the Frisch-elasticity parameter if there are no income or general equilibrium effects. Furthermore, for a wide range of standard values of the Frisch-elasticity parameter, the response of labour generated by a tax holiday in the model is aligned with the reduced-form evidence.Type: journal articleJournal: European Economic ReviewVolume: 139

PublicationOn the Measurement of the Elasticity of Labour( 2020-11)Onken, JoernWe use a simple macroeconomic model to illustrate the difference between the Frisch elasticity, understood as a structural behavioural parameter, and the elasticity of labour measured through a tax holiday; a setup used in the micro-applied literature to measure the responsiveness of labour to changes in the returns to work. We show that a high Frisch elasticity is compatible with a measured elasticity of the same order of magnitude as the micro-applied estimates.Type: working paper
