Show abstract
We study how tax deferral policies shape labour supply decisions over the lifecycle. Between 1975 and 2005, Canadian provinces allowed physicians to incorporate, providing high-income professionals with substantial tax deferral opportunities. Using a difference-in-differences identification strategy, we find that incorporation reduced work effort by facilitating earlier retirement. Physician supply fell by 6.8% over the long run, with especially large declines among older physicians and high-earning surgical specialists. These results provide long-run evidence of how these tax deferral policies, designed to affect high-skill labour, can alter timing of retirement and reduce labour supply.
