“…A particularly high tax wedge on labour income has been argued to decrease employment. Empirical evidence in line with this statement has been produced using data from post-socialist countries (Góra et al, 2006;Rutkowski and Walewski, 2007) as well as from other political economic contexts (e.g. Bassanini and Duval, 2006).…”

“…Natomiast kraje, które zwiększyły jego wielkość (w tym Polska) odczuły wzrost bezrobocia. Z kolei Góra et al [2006] zbadali wpływ klina podatkowego na zatrudnienie w krajach OECD i w Polsce. Badania te dowodzą, że w krajach OECD klin podatkowy silniej wpływa na stopę zatrudnienia pracowników niewykwalifikowanych niż wykwalifikowanych oraz że silniej wpływa na tempo wzrostu zatrudnienia w nowych krajach członkowskich UE (w tym w Polsce) niż pozostałych krajach OECD.…”

“…A simple theoretical framework of labour supply and demand presumes that an increase of tax wedge can be represented by a downward shift in the labour demand curve. The extent to which the tax wedge affects employment is highly dependent on the elasticities of the labour supply and demand curve, implying that the more elastic is the labour supply curve (and/or demand curve), the higher is the negative effect of tax wedge on employment (see Góra et al, 2006).…”

“…Similar estimates of the impact of tax wedge on labour market performance were obtained in the studies based on the samples of EU Member States. For example, Góra et al (2006) showed a negative effect of tax wedge on employment growth in eight New Member States (NMS) and provided evidence that tax wedge more strongly affects employment rates among low-skilled workers, but high-skilled are rather immune from this effect. A significant negative impact of higher tax wedge on labour force participation and employment rate (especially for elderly) in NMS-8 has been suggested also by Võrk et al (2007).…”
