The Effect of the Social Security Earnings Test on Male Labor Supply
利用纵向行政收入数据和调查数据，分析社会保障收入测试对男性劳动供给的影响，发现考虑测量误差和市场刚性后，该测试对劳动供给有显著影响，尤其对年轻男性。
Abstract Despite numerous empirical studies, there is surprisingly little agreement about whether the Social Security earnings test affects male labor supply. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the labor supply effects of the earnings test using longitudinal administrative earnings data and more commonly used survey data. We find that the response to the earnings test in survey data is obfuscated by measurement error and labor market rigidities. Accounting for these factors, our results suggest a consistent and substantial response to the earnings test, especially for younger men.
