elasticity | R Documentation |
Estimate elasticity from single normalized bunching observation.
elasticity( beta, binwidth, zstar, t0, t1, notch = FALSE, e_parametric = FALSE, e_parametric_lb = 1e-04, e_parametric_ub = 3 )
beta |
normalized excess mass. |
binwidth |
a numeric value for the width of each bin. |
zstar |
a numeric value for the the bunching point. |
t0 |
numeric value setting the marginal (average) tax rate below zstar in a kink (notch) setting. |
t1 |
numeric value setting the marginal (average) tax rate above zstar in a kink (notch) setting. |
notch |
whether analysis is for a kink or notch. Default is FALSE (kink). |
e_parametric |
whether to estimate elasticity using parametric specification (quasi-linear and iso-elastic utility function). Default is FALSE (which estimates reduced-form approximation). |
e_parametric_lb |
lower bound for elasticity estimate's solution using parametric specification in notch setting. Default is 1e-04. |
e_parametric_ub |
upper bound for elasticity estimate's solution using parametric specification in notch setting. Default is 3. |
elasticity
returns the estimated elasticity. By default, this is based on the reduced-form approximation. To use the parametric equivalent, set e_parametric to TRUE.
