Automatic stabilisers and economic crisis : US vs Europe
Dolls, Mathias; Fuest, Clemens; Peichl, Andreas - 2010
This paper analyzes the effectiveness of the tax and transfer systems in the European Union and the US to act as an automatic stabilizer in the current economic crisis. We find that automatic stabilizers absorb 38 per cent of a proportional income shock in the EU, compared to 32 per cent in the...

Social protection as an automatic stabilizer
Dolls, Mathias; Fuest, Clemens; Peichl, Andreas - 2010
This paper analyzes the effectiveness of social protection systems in Europe and the US to provide (income) insurance against macro level shocks in terms of automatic stabilizers. We find that automatic stabilizers absorb 38% of a proportional income shock and 47% of an idiosyncratic...

Comparing labor supply elasticities in Europe and the US : new results
Bargain, Olivier; Orsini, Kristian; Peichl, Andreas - 2012
We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17 European countries and the US, separately by gender and marital status. Measurement differences are netted out by using a harmonized empirical approach and comparable data sources. We find that own-wage...

Multidimensional affluence : theory and applications to Germany and the US
Peichl, Andreas; Pestel, Nico - 2011
This paper suggests multidimensional affluence measures for the top of the distribution. In contrast to commonly used top income shares, they allow the analysis of the extent, intensity and breadth of affluence in several dimensions within a common framework. We illustrate this by analyzing the...

Labor supply elasticities in Europe and the US
Bargain, Olivier; Orsini, Kristian; Peichl, Andreas - 2011
Despite numerous studies on labor supply, the size of elasticities is rarely comparable across countries. In this paper, we suggest the first large-scale international comparison of elasticities, while netting out possible differences due to methods, data selection and the period of...

Lower and upper bounds of unfair inequality : theory and evidence for Germany and the US
Niehues, Judith; Peichl, Andreas - 2011
Previous estimates of unfair inequality of opportunity (IOp) are only lower bounds because of the unobservability of the full set of endowed circumstances beyond the sphere of individual responsibility. In this paper, we suggest a new estimator based on a fixed effects panel model which...
