“…Taking into consideration that we use very recent data this finding is in line with the convergence of male and female labour supply in Austria at the end of the 1980s and during the 1990s found by Wernhart and Winter-Ebmer (2012).…”

“…First, we follow the research question in Wernhart and Winter-Ebmer (2012) and provide an in-depth country specific analysis of labour supply elasticities for Austria. We enhance their analysis by studying cross-wage elasticities for males and females deciding on their labour supply individually and in a household context.…”

We apply a structural discrete choice framework to estimate incomespecific own-wage and cross-wage labour supply elasticities in regard to working hours and participation for married and single males and females in Austria. We use data from the Austrian components of the European Statistics of Income and Living Conditions from 2004 to 2012. Own-wage elasticities are very small for males and slightly higher for females. Cross-wage elasticities are practically zero for males and slightly negative for females. Male and female own-wage elasticities decrease with higher incomes. Over time female labour supply elasticities decrease. Furthermore, we assess the labour supply and fiscal effects of the Austrian tax reform of 2016. We find a total increase in working hours by 0.71%. The labour supply effects are stronger on the intensive margin, for females and for low-income earners. On total the tax reform induces a tax relief of 4.7 billion Euros. The positive effects on tax burden and disposable income increase with the individual income.

“…Recent evidence (e.g. Bishop et al, 2009;Blau and Kahn, 2007;Wernhart and Winter-Ebmer, 2012) shows that there still is a difference, but it has decreased substantially since the early 1980s. This can be explained by a more traditional role model of women, where alternative life expositions may exist and full-time work is not the only option -next to family or child-care.…”

We study the relationship between job quality and retirement using panel data for European countries (SHARE). While previous studies looked at the impact of bad working conditions on retirement intentions, we can use the panel dimension to study actual retirement as well as other pathways out of a job. As indicators for job quality we use three different approaches: overall job satisfaction, over-and undereducation for a particular job as well as effort-reward imbalance which measures the imbalance between a worker's effort and the rewards he or she receives in turn.JEL Classification: J14, J18, J26, J28

Abstract This paper approaches the question whether and to what extent a policy shift from universal child transfers towards child tax deductibles is capable of activating (mostly female) unused labor market potential in Austria. We develop a discrete choice labor supply model based on the EU-SILC datasets 2004-2010 and present static uncompensated own and cross wage elasticities at the intensive and extensive margins. We find that the family policy reform 2009 had only small employment effects, most of them being generated through the introduction of a child care deductible. To illustrate the employment potential of a shift from transfers to tax deductibles we propose several simulations showing that such a policy shift would yield an increase in full time equivalents of approximately 1.3% overall, with females in couples increasing their labor supply by up to 3.9%. Although the proposed policy shifts have highly regressive effects in terms of their impact on the distribution of disposable income, we show that phasing-out the tax deductible at higher income allows, in principle, for the compensation of lower-income households without jeopardizing positive employment effects.
