The Impact of Welfare Benefit Levels and Tax Rates on the Labor Supply of Poor Women Review of Economics and Statistics 57,2 (May 1975): 236-238. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1924007 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Harvard University Press Keyword(s): Earnings; Taxes; Wages; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper incorporates wage income concepts into a model of work-leisure choice. The labor supply of poor women is shown to depend upon the market wage rate adjusted for the implicit welfare tax rate, potential other income and the home wage rate. For both black and white groups, potential other income is negatively related to hours worked while the net market wage rate is not significantly related to hours worked. |
