From 2000 to 2005, Germany experienced an unprecedented rise in net equivalized income inequality and poverty. At the …’ conditional employment outcomes were partly responsible for the observed inequality increase. Using DiNardo …/Fortin/Lemieux’s semiparametric kernel density reweighting method, we examine what part of the inequality and poverty increase can be accounted for by …

A local measure of classical horizontal inequity (HI) in an income tax or tax-benefit system is proposed and aggregated into a global index. This index expresses the revenue gain per capita that would come from eliminating HI welfare-neutrally, and also reveals the loss of vertical performance,...

This paper evaluates the tax reforms carried out in Sweden between 1980 and 1991. We use a recently developed nonparametric estimation technique to account for labor supply responses. We decompose the tax returns to study how the separate components influence hours of work, tax revenues...

This paper extends the nonparametric structural method to estimate labor supply developed by Blomquist and Newey (2002) to handle cases in which there are individuals who do not work. The method is then applied to married women in Sweden from 1973 to 1999. I find an uncompensated wage elasticity...

We examine the association of income variability both within and across generations based on a heterogeneous growth model of permanent and transitory income in Sweden. Non-parametric regressions reveal that income variability is strongly associated with long-run levels of income, especially for...

This paper provides a survey of the non parametric approaches applied to income distribution analysis, focusing on kernel method and, in particular, on the choice of the bandwidth. To account for sample design and data sparseness, weighted kernel density with an adaptive bandwidth is suggested....
