A Structural Approach to Estimating the Effect of Taxation on the Labor Market Dynamics of Older Workers

No 877, Discussion Papers of DIW Berlin from DIW Berlin, German Institute for Economic Research

Abstract: We estimate a dynamic structural life-cycle model of employment, non-employment and retirement that includes endogenous accumulation of human capital and intertemporal non- separabilities in preferences. Additionally, the model accounts for the effect of the tax and transfer system on work incentives. The structural parameter estimates are used to evaluate the effects of a tax reform targeted at low income individuals on employment behavior and retirement decisions.
