Wage rigidity or fiscal redistribution? : The unemployment bias of time consistent redistributive policies
Lehmann, Etienne (contributor) - 2006
Because of Time Inconsistency considerations, policymakers underestimate the drawbacks of wage rigidity as a redistributive tool. Consequently, they redistribute inefficiently income from high to low skilled workers. They typically implement too much wage rigidity whereas other means (in...

Search frictions on product and labor markets : money in the matching function
Lehmann, Etienne (contributor);  … - 2007
This paper builds a macroeconomic model of equilibrium unemployment in which firms persistently face difficulties in selling their production and this affects their decisions to create jobs. Due to search-frictions on the product market, equilibrium unemployment is a U-shaped function of the...

A simple theory of optimal redistributive taxation with equilibrium unemployment
Hungerbühler, Mathias; Lehmann, Etienne; Parmentier, Alexis - 2010

More progressive taxation leads to wage moderation that boosts labor demand. We design the optimal … nonlinear redistributive tax schedule in the absence of welfare benefits and extensive labor supply margin. Compared to their …

Optimal redistributive taxation with both extensive and intensive responses
Jacquet, Laurence; Lehmann, Etienne; Van der Linden, Bruno - 2010
This paper characterizes optimal income taxation when individuals respond along both the intensive and extensive margins. Individuals are heterogeneous across two dimensions: specifically, their skill and disutility of participation. Preferences over consumption and work effort can differ with...

Beyond the labour income tax wedge : the unemployment-reducing effect of tax progressivity
Lehmann, Etienne; Lucifora, Claudio; Moriconi, Simone; … - 2014
In this paper we argue that, for a given overall level of labour income taxation, a more progressive tax schedule increases employment. From a theoretical point of view, higher progressivity increases overall employment through a wage moderating effect and also because employment of low-paid...

How diverse can spatial measures of cultural diversity be? : results from Monte Carlo simulations of an agent-based model
Arribas-Bel, Daniel; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - 2014
Cultural diversity is a complex and multi-faceted concept. Commonly used quantitative measures of the spatial distribution of culturally-defined groups – such as segregation, isolation or concentration indexes - are often only capable of identifying just one aspect of this distribution. The...
