Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Earnings Responses to Social Security Contributions: Evidence from Older Workers in Canada 1: McMaster University, Canada; CESifo; IZA; 2: Government of Nova Scotia This paper documents sharp bunching in third-party reported employment earnings at a basic exemption for social security contributions among older workers. Beginning in 2012, workers age 60-64 who were receiving a public pension were required to make social security contributions equal to 9.9 percent of their employment earnings above a basic exemption threshold of $3,500. Using administrative data on third-party reported earnings and a differences-in- bunching estimator we document sharp bunching at the $3,500 threshold. We argue that our results represent new evidence on the role of firms in mediating the earnings response to payroll taxes.
