Over the past 20 years, microsimulation models have come to play an important role in policy analysis, identifying … benefit model. The present paper reports results from such a prototype European tax-benefit microsimulation model. The model …

Studies have shown that the previously growing inequality in China has stabilized and even declined since 2008 (Kanbur … et al., 2021), nevertheless, the drivers of the latest trans-formation in income inequality remain to be unraveled. We … from 2010 to 2016. We apply the distributional decomposition method proposed by Bourguignon et al. (2008) and Sologon et al …

. All countries recording an increase in cross-sectional inequality recorded also a decrease in short-term mobility. Among … countries where inequality decreased, short-term mobility increased in Denmark, Spain, Ireland and UK, and decreased in Belgium …

what extent does earnings mobility work to equalize/disequalize longerterm earnings relative to cross-sectional inequality …, Germany, and the lowest, Portugal. The highest mobility as equalizer of longer term inequality is recorded in Ireland and …

-national differences in the dynamic structure of earnings: in permanent inequality, transitory inequality and earnings mobility. Based on … ECHP, minimum distance estimator is used to decompose earnings inequality into the permanent and transitory components and … squares setting to estimate the relationship between permanent inequality, transitory inequality and earnings mobility, and …

which changes in cross-sectional earnings inequality reflect transitory or permanent components of individual lifecycle … earnings variation. Increases in inequality reflect increases in permanent differentials in four countries and increases in … both components in two. Decreases in inequality reflect decreases in transitory differentials in four countries, in …

distribution of income. In order to decompose the impact of components of income, we utilised a microsimulation methodology the EU … our methodology. We utilised the framework to model changes to the level of income inequality from the period just before … inequality fell in the early part of the crisis, but rose steadily and then rapidly. Much of this change was due to rising …

implementing an aligned or calibrated microsimulation approach to generate a counterfactual income distribution as a function of …, income distribution, prices, and income inequality. We find significant differences between approaches when the calibration …
