Accounting for family background when designing optimal income taxes : a microeconometric simulation analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 619, Working paper, 2010)Abstract: 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. ... -
Alternatives to paying child benefit to the rich: means testing or higher tax?
(Discussion Paper;No. 969, Working paper, 2021-11)The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 implies that the US is effectively moving towards a general child benefit. However, the amount paid out is dependent on income, similar to schemes in several other countries. In the ... -
Are predicted lifetime consumption profiles robust with respect to model specifications?
(Discussion Papers;No. 308, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: Structural models of lifetime labour supply and consumption require functional specifications of preferences as well as other assumptions that can be difficult to assess a priori. Misspecifications of the model ... -
Designing optimal taxes with a microeconometric model of household labour supply
(Discussion Papers;No. 475, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present an exercise where we identify optimal income tax rules under the constraint of fixed tax revenue. To this end, we estimate a microeconomic model with 78 parameters that ... -
Distributional and behavioural effects of child care subsidies
(Discussion Papers;No. 135, Working paper, 1995)A methodology to describe the distributional and behavioural effects of child care subsidies is presented within a micro simulation framework. We discuss the effects of changing the governmental policy to support families ... -
Empirical approaches for analysing consumption and labour supply in a life cycle perspective
(Discussion Paper;No. 95, Working paper, 1993-07)During the last decade several approaches for estimation of structural life cycle models of labour supply and consumption from micro data have been proposed. Ideally, estimation requires complete, individual, life cycle ... -
An empirical life cycle model of savings, labour supply and consumption without intertemporal separability
(Discussion Paper;No. 96, Working paper, 1993-07)This paper formulates and estimates a structural life cycle model of married couples' labour supply and consumption of durables and non-durables. The purpose of this work has been to find a specification of this class of ... -
Equality of opportunity versus equality of outcome in analysing optimal income taxation : empirical evidence based on Italian data
(Discussion Papers;No. 307, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework for analysing optimal income taxation. EOp optimal tax rules seek to equalise ... -
Equity versus efficiency in public pension schemes. Microsimulating the trade-off
(Discussion Papers;No. 515, Working paper, 2007)Abstract: Any contribution to a pay-as-you-go pension system may be considered mandatory savings to the extent that it gives a claim to a future benefit. Contributors to the economic literature have argued that an ... -
Evaluating alternative representations of the choice sets in models of labour supply
(Discussion Papers;No. 449, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: 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 ... -
Means-testing the child benefit
(Discussion Papers;No. 262, Working paper, 1999)Improving the distributional impact of transfers may be costly if it reduces labour supply. In this paper we show how effects of changes in the design of the child benefit programme can be examined by deriving information ... -
Population ageing and fiscal sustainability : an integrated micro-macro analysis of required tax changes
(Discussion Papers;No. 367, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: Most studies on the economic consequences of ageing rely on Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models that account for feedback mechanisms through changes in relative prices, tax bases etc. However, since ... -
Welfare effects of tax policy change when there are choice restrictions on labour supply
(Discussion Paper;No. 959, Working paper, 2021-08)Information about individual choices of heterogeneous agents. Results can for example be used to describe the distributional effects of tax policy change, such as the effects on changes in money metric utility – distributions ...
