Accounting for family background when designing optimal income taxes: a microeconometric simulation analysis
Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework, which we call extended EOp, for analysing second-best optimal income taxation. Unlike ... -
Do more equal slices shrink the cake? An empirical investigation of tax-transfer reform proposals in Italy
Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo; Strøm, Steinar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)A crucial issue in efficiency-equality evaluations of tax reforms resides in the possibility that the level as well as the distribution of welfare may change, where the household-specific measures of welfare capture the ... -
Evaluating alternative representations of the choice sets in models of labour supply
Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo; Wennemo, Tom (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)During the last two decades, the discrete-choice modelling of labour supply decisions has become increasingly popular, starting with Aaberge et al. (1995) and van Soest (1995). Within the literature adopting this approach ... -
Labor supply responses and welfare effects from replacing current tax rules by a flat tax: Empirical evidence from Italy, Norway and Sweden
Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo; Strøm, Steinar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000)This paper employs a microeconometric framework to examine the labor supply responses and the welfare effects from replacing current tax systems in Italy, Norway and Sweden by a flat tax on total income. The flat tax rates ... -
Structural labour supply models and microsimulation
Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The purpose of the paper is to provide a discussion of the various approaches for accounting for labour supply responses in microsimulation models. The paper focus attention on two methodologies for modelling labour supply: ... -
Using a microeconometric model of household labour supply to design optimal income taxes
Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-04-10)With regards to empirical applications of optimal taxation theory, analytical expressions are typically adopted for optimal taxes, and then numerical values are imputed to their parameters by calibration or by using previous ...
