Abstract: We introduce the Hausman method for estimation of labour supply and present some recent
quantitative studies of Danish labour supply based on this approach. The preferred model is used
for simulating labour supply and distributional impact of alternative tax reforms which reduce the
tax burden on wage income in different income ranges. Despite the relatively small labour supply
elasticities, some of the experiments are almost self-financed, but the general picture is that rates
of self-financing are modest. It turns out that the choice of tax reform is important when
considering inequality issues.
