Abstract: There is a large econometric literature on the impact of income taxes on hours of work and labor force participation rates.It has long been understood, however, that the concept "labor supply" is more general than "hours of work."Individual differences in skills, motivation and health will influence the effective labor supply associated with any given number of hours of work.The purpose of this paper is to suggest some ways by which it might be possible to learn something about the effects of taxes on these other, and possibly very important, dimensions of labor supply.
