TL;DR: This article examined the effects of three potential policy changes on implicit Social Security tax rates: extending the number of years used in the Social Security formula from 35 to 40, allowing individuals who have worked more than 40 years to be exempt from payroll taxes, and distinguishing between lifetime low-income earners and high-income income earners who work short careers.

TL;DR: The authors found evidence of a statistically significant fertility response to a change in the real value of child tax subsidies occurring with a one- to two-year lag, but a much smaller and statistically insignificant total effect after several years.

TL;DR: This article found that workers at firms with employer-based coverage experience an annual reduction in wages of approximately $1,200, implying that the marginal costs of mandated employer based coverage expansions are not entirely borne only by the people whose coverage is expanded by the mandate.

TL;DR: The implicit tax on working beyond age 65 is approximately 15-20 percent at age 65 and increases to 45-70 percent by age 80 as mentioned in this paper, and eliminating this implicit tax by making Medicare a primary payer for all Medicare-eligible individuals could significantly increase lifetime labor supply due to the high labor supply elasticities of older workers.
