Abstract: Income tax systems are very different across OECD countries. In this thesis, I study the impact of differences in the progressivity of the tax schedule and in the unit of taxation on female labor supply. More precisely, in the first essay I quantify the impact of income tax reforms on female labor supply in the United States, and in the second essay I quantify to what extent differences in income taxation between the United Statesand Europe explain differences in female labor supply.
