Evidence on Individual Preferences for Longevity Risk

Delprat, G.; Leroux, M.-L.; Michaud, P.-C. - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2013

The standard model of intertemporal choice assumes risk neutrality toward the length of life: due to additivity, agents are not sensitive to a mean preserving spread in the length of life. Using a survey fielded in the RAND American Life Panel (ALP), this paper provides empirical evidence on...

Poverty-Reducing Tax Reforms with Heterogeneous Agents

Duclos, Jean-Yves; Makdissi, Paul; Wodon, Quentin - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2003

The poverty impact of indirect tax reforms is analyzed using sequential stochastic dominance methods. This allows agents to differ in dimensions that cannot always be precisely captured within the usual money-metric indicators of living standards. Examples of such dimensions include household...
