Distributional effects of macroeconomic shocks in real-time : a novel method applied to the Covid-19 crisis in Germany
Bruckmeier, Kerstin; Peichl, Andreas; Popp, Martin; … - 2020
The highly dynamic nature of the COVID-19 crisis poses an unprecedented challenge to policy makers around the world to take appropriate income-stabilizing countermeasures. To properly design such policy measures, it is important to quantify their effects in real-time. However, data on the...

Richer or more numerous or both? : the role of population and economic growth for top income shares
Krolage, Carla; Peichl, Andreas; Waldenström, Daniel - 2018
When measuring income inequality over long periods of time, accounting for population and productivity growth is important. This paper presents three alternative measures of top income shares that more explicitly account for population and income growth than the standard measure. We apply these...

In Germany, two observations can be made over the past 20 years: First, income inequality has been constantly increasing while, second, the average household size has been declining dramatically. The analysis of income distribution relies on equivalence-weighted incomes which take into account...

Peichl, Andreas; Siegloch, Sebastian - 2010
When assessing the effects of policy reforms on the labor market, most studies only focus on labor supply. The interaction of supply and demand side is not explicitly modeled, which might lead to biased estimates of potential labor market outcomes. This paper proposes a straightforward method to...
