Abstract

Decaluwe B., Lemelin A. and Bahan D. Endogenous labour supply with several occupational categories in a bi-regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, Regional Studies. To make labour supply endogenous in the Quebec Finance Ministry Quebec-Rest-of-Canada bi-regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, household utility functions include as many types of leisure as there are occupational categories. Each household is modelled as a group of individuals who maximize utility independently, while sharing identical preferences for goods. Therefore, the consumption of goods is the same as in a standard linear expenditure system (LES), but cross-elasticity of supply of any labour category relative to another's wage rate is zero. Marginal income tax rates represent not only personal income taxes, but also implicit taxation of income through transfer reduction. Model behaviour is consistent with analytical expectations.

L'offre de travail endogene du modele bi-regional Quebec-Reste-du-Canada du Ministere des finances du Quebec derive de fonctions d'utilite avec autant de types de loisir que de categories professionnelles. Chaque menage est constitue d'individus maximisant leur utilite independamment, ayant neanmoins des preferences identiques pour les biens. Resultat: la consommation de biens est comme dans un SLD standard, mais l'elasticite-prix croisee de l'offre entre les categories de travail est nulle. Les taux marginaux d'imposition du revenu representent les impots personnels, mais aussi la taxation implicite du revenu resultant de la reduction des transferts. Le modele se comporte conformement aux predictions theoriques. Modele d'equilibre general bi-regional Offre de travail menagere Decaluwe B., Lemelin A. und Bahan D. Endogenes Angebot an Arbeitskraften in mehreren Berufssparten in einem biregionalen berechenbaren allgemeinen Gleichgewichtsmodell (CGE-Modell), Regional Studies. Um das Angebot an Arbeitskraften im biregionalen berechenbaren allgemeinen Gleichgewichtsmodell (CGE-Modell) des Finanzministeriums von Quebec fur die Region Quebec und das ubrige Kanada endogen zu gestalten, werden bei den Haushaltsnutzenfunktionen ebenso viele Freizeitarten wie Berufssparten berucksichtigt. Jeder Haushalt wird als Gruppe von Personen modelliert, die den Nutzen unabhangig voneinander maximieren und dabei identische Guterpraferenzen aufweisen. Der Guterverbrauch ist daher derselbe wie bei einem herkommlichen linearen Ausgabensystem (LES), wobei sich jedoch die Kreuzelastizitat des Angebots einer Arbeitskraftkategorie in Bezug auf den Lohnsatz einer anderen Kategorie auf Null belauft. Die marginalen Einkommenssteuersatze beziehen sich nicht nur auf die privaten Einkommenssteuern, sondern auch auf die implizite Einkommensbesteuerung durch Transferreduktion. Das Verhalten des Modells entspricht den analytischen Erwartungen. Berechenbares allgemeines Gleichgewicht (CGE) Arbeitskraftangebot von Haushalten Decaluwe B., Lemelin A. y Bahan D. La oferta endogena de trabajo con varias categorias laborales en un modelo de equilibrio general computable bi-regional, Regional Studies. Para que la oferta de trabajo sea endogena en el modelo de equilibrio general computable bi-regional del Quebec y el resto del Canada empleado por el Ministerio de Hacienda, se tienen en cuenta las funciones de utilidad con tantos tipos de ocio como categorias laborales. Cada hogar se modela como un grupo de individuos que maximizan la utilidad de modo independiente a la vez que comparten preferencias identicas de bienes. Por consiguiente, el consumo de bienes es el mismo que en un sistema lineal de gastos pero la elasticidad cruzada de la oferta de cualquier categoria laboral relativa a la tasa salarial de otra categoria es nula. Las tasas marginales del impuesto sobre la renta representan no solo los impuestos sobre la renta de las personas fisicas sino tambien el impuesto implicito de la renta mediante la reduccion de transferencias. El comportamiento del modelo corresponde a las expectativas analiticas. Equilibrio computable general Oferta laboral de los hogares
