摘要:Norwegian administrative data are used to evaluate the impact of a doubling of the
threshold in the earnings test on the labour force activity. We find no impact on labour
market participation, but positive effects on earnings. The effect increases with exposure to
the reform and is stronger for individuals with earnings around the threshold and with high
education. Individuals who remain active until retirement age respond more to the reform
than those who left labour force earlier. The results indicate both substantial labour supply
responsiveness among elderly, and heterogeneity with respect to preferences, labour market
options or both.
