This study discusses the impact of tax rates on the labor supply of married women. The most important empirical result is that married women correctly perceive the wedge between the gross and net wage that is imposed by the income tax. That is, their labor supply decisions are based upon the after-tax wage, as suggested by basic economic theory. |
