Labour market reforms that are designed to stimulate labour supply at the lower end of the wage distribution can never be precisely restricted to affect only the target group. Spillovers to and feedback from other segments of the labour market are unavoidable and may counteract the direct...

Wir untersuchen die Auswirkungen von Steuer-Transfer-Reformen in einem konsistent gekoppelten Mikro-Makro-Modell mit heterogenen Arbeitsmärkten. Das Modell umfasst drei Qualifikationstypen, die in der Produktion unvollständig substituierbar sind. Die empirisch geschätzten...

Changing the income tax progressivity in labour markets with collective wage bargaining generates a trade-off. On the one hand, higher progressivity distorts individual labour supply decisions at the hours-of-work margin, on the other hand, it reduces unemployment by exerting downward pressure...

We present a combined, consistent microsimulation-AGE model that uses the labour market model PACE-L, data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and a discrete choice labour supply estimation. The model is used to analyse a reform that cuts the social assistance minimum income and lowers the...
