| Abstract: | This dissertation tests the hypothesis that the increased income tax threshold between 2013 and 2015 has positively affected female labour supply in Malta. It runs a structural discrete choice model of labour supply for single and married women, using a multinomial framework. The parameters of the direct utility function are estimated using EUROMOD input data. The fndings show that the estimated own-wage elasticity from the reform is 0.14. The results also indicate that lone mothers and the elderly are most sensitive to changes in gross wages. The study concludes that work incentives should be directed towards groups having relatively high elasticities. |
