| dc.description.abstract | In this paper we propose a tax and benefit reform to increase the working hours and to
decrease the welfare participation of single mothers in Sweden. We have access to
high-quality tax and income data, and use a detailed tax-benefit program to generate
precise budget-sets. We formulate and estimate a structural, static model of labor
supply and welfare participation. The results suggest that labor supply among single
mother households in Sweden is quite elastic, and that there is self-selection into
welfare. The proposed reform would generate welfare-gains for virtually everyone in
the sample, yet would be revenue neutral | swe |
