Efficiency and Equity Effects of Reforming the British System of Direct Taxation
The simulation model presented in this paper shows how an estimated utility index, defined over net income and leisure, can be used to replicate labor-supply behavior individual by individual. This methodology is used to evaluate the efficiency and equity effects of two specific (revenue neutral) reforms of the British system of direct taxation. The first reform involves abolishing the married m an's tax allowance. The second abolishes this allow…

Women and Equal Pay
This book looks at the change in the relative pay and employment of women, and the effect and its extent, if any, of equal pay legislation. Satisfactory data on women's pay and employment are examined and show, for the first time, that the impact of legislation has been underestimated in the case of Britain and this makes this study, an important one for all those interested in these issues. During the 1970s women saw their relative pay increased…
Spanish Industrial Unemployment
The high level of unemployment is probably the worst feature of the recent evolution of the Spanish economy. In 1970 the overall unemployment rate stood at 1 per cent of the civilian labour force; in 1984 it is estimated to have gone over the 20 per cent level. This is a substantial increase which has no parallel in any European country. Between 1970 and 1983 the average unemployment rate in the EEC rose by 8-6 percentage points, while the increa…

Compensating and Equivalent Variations, and the Deadweight Loss of Taxation
Using the expenditure function, Diamond and McFadden (1974) express the measures of deadweight loss of taxation of Hotelling (1938) and Harberger (1974) in terms of the compensating variation. Kay (1980) has criticized the Diamond-McFadden measure because the concept of tax revenue it implies is very different from the actual revenue that the system will bring in, and has proposed another measure based on the equivalent variation. This note, the …

A Note on the Estimation of Subjective Rates of Discount from Labour Supply Functions
In a previous paper by the author (Zabalza, 1979), a model of occupational choice was developed from which were derived testable hypotheses about the determinants of teacher supply. The model was tested with data on schoolteachers in England and Wales and, in general, the results showed that new entrants into teaching are sensitive not only to the level of starting wages but also to the slope of the earnings profile. This note considers some impl…
