Redistributive effect and the progressivity of taxes and benefits: evidence for the UK, 1977-2018
Hérault, Nicolas; Jenkins, Stephen - 2021
We apply the Kakwani approach to decomposing redistributive effect into average rate, progressivity, and reranking components using yearly UK data covering 1977-2018. We examine cash and in-kind benefits, and direct and indirect taxes. In addition, we highlight an empirical implementation issue...

What is the value added by using causal machine learning methods in a welfare experiment evaluation?
Strittmatter, Anthony - 2019
Recent studies have proposed causal machine learning (CML) methods to estimate conditional average treatment effects (CATEs). In this study, I investigate whether CML methods add value compared to conventional CATE estimators by re-evaluating Connecticut's Jobs First welfare experiment. This...

Hours risk and wage risk : repercussions over the life-cycle
Jessen, Robin; König, Johannes - 2020
We decompose permanent earnings risk into contributions from hours and wage shocks. To distinguish between hours shocks, modeled as innovations to the marginal disutility of work, and labor supply reactions to wage shocks we formulate a life-cycle model of consumption and labor supply. Both...
