245 _aIntertemporal labor supply substitution? Evidence from the Swiss income tax holidays
260 _aThe American Economic Review
300 _a3(2), Feb, 2021: p.506-546
520 _aThis paper estimates intertemporal labor supply responses to two-year long income tax holidays staggered across Swiss cantons. Cantons shifted from an income tax system based on the previous two years' income to a standard annual pay as you earn system, leaving two years of income untaxed. We find significant but quantitatively very small responses of wage earnings with an intertemporal elasticity of 0.025 overall. High wage income earners and especially the self-employed display larger responses with elasticities around 0.1 and 0.25, respectively, most likely driven by tax avoidance. We find no effects along the extensive margin at all. – Reproduced
