In this paper we use the enhanced consumption data in the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics (PSID) from 2005-2017 to explore the transmission of income shocks to consumption. We build on the nonlinear quantile framework introduced in Arellano, Blundell and Bonhomme (2017). Our focus is on the...

Welfare recipients in Germany are allowed to take up supplementary jobs while receiving welfare. The possibility of having a supplementary job was introduced to reduce welfare dependency and facilitate successful labor market integration. In the present study, we use the German Panel Study...

We study earnings and income inequality in Britain over the past two decades, including the period of relatively … the "new inequality" at the very top. Household earnings inequality has risen, driven by male earnings - although a 'catch …-up' of female earnings did hold down individual earnings inequality and reduce within-household inequality. Nevertheless, net …
