Labor market programs , the discouraged - worker effect , and labor force participation ∗
This paper estimates the macroeconomic effect of labor market programs on labor force participation.

An equation that determines the participation rate is estimated with GMM, using panel data (1986-1998) for Sweden’s ...

Quantitatively, (optimal) taxation results hinge upon an estimate of the intratemporal elasticity ...
