      <field key="753" subkey="">Abstract: Labor force participation rates of mothers in Austria and Germany are similar, however full-time employment rates are</field>
      <field key="muc" subkey="h">higher among Austrian mothers. In order to find out to what extent these differences can be attributed to differences in the</field>
      <field key="tax" subkey="">transfer-system, we perform a comparative micro simulation exercise. After estimating structural labor supply models of both</field>
      <field key="cou" subkey="n">tries, we interchange two important institutional characteristics of the two countries, namely (i) the definition of the tax</field>
      <field key="uni" subkey="t">within the personal income tax and (ii) the parental leave benefit scheme. As our analysis shows, differences in mothers'</field>
      <field key="emp" subkey="l">oyment patterns can partly be explained by the different tax systems: While Germany has a system of joint taxation with</field>
      <field key="inc" subkey="o">me splitting for married couples, Austria taxes everyone individually, which leads to lower marginal tax rates for secondary</field>
      <field key="ear" subkey="n">ers than the German system.;</field>
