摘要：
At empirically reasonable labor supply elasticities, equilibrium models of public finance predict that greater taxes in a country should lead to lower aggregate labor. We examine data from a cross-section of 22 OECD economies for such a relationship. The approach is to estimate parameters of a static general-equilibrium model of aggregate labor. Greater taxes do appear to reduce equilibrium labor in our sample. Indeed, estimated aggregate wage elasticities are generally greater than consensus estimates from traditional studies of cross sections of individuals.
