This paper offers new insights on the intertemporal elasticity of substitution (i.e.s.) both a theoretical and an empirical level. I fi rst show that within a standard life cycle model of labor supply featuring human capital accumulation, the i.e.s. is a state-dependent variable which strongly depends on the return to human capital accumulation. I identify two important sources of heterogeneity w.r.t. return to human capital accumulation: age and education. Second, I argue that the average i.e.s. is low and comparable with micro estimates, even in the presence of human capital. Estimating the life cycle model for two different education groups; workers with and without a college degree, I find that the average i.e.s. in the sample is 0.34. However, the average i.e.s. hide important heterogeneity: for college graduates the i.e.s. more than doubles over the life cycle, whereas it increases by about 66 percent for non-college graduates. Moreover, young non-college graduates have 35 percent higher i.e.s. than young college graduates. Finally, I fi nd that the welfare costs of permanent tax changes are much lower than previously found in models with human capital.
