The Benefits of Linking CGE and Microsimulation Models: Evidence from a Flat Tax Analysis

Peichl, Andreas - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2008

Mircrosimulation models (MSM) and Computable General Equilibrium models (CGE) have both been widely used in policy analysis. The combination of these two model types allows the utilisation of the advantages of both types. The aim of this paper is to describe the state-of-the-art in simulation...

Retirement Choice Simulation in Household Settings with Heterogeneous Pension Plans

Li, Jinjing; O'Donoghue, Cathal - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2011

This paper estimates a structured life cycle model of family retirement decision using a unique historical dataset back simulated from Living in Ireland survey. Our model takes the advantages of the dataset and models retirement decisions in terms of monetary and leisure incentives, which...

Effects of Flat Tax Reforms in Western Europe on Income Distribution and Work Incentives

Paulus, Alari; Peichl, Andreas - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2008

The flat income tax has become increasingly popular recently, yet its implementation is limited to Eastern Europe. We analyse the distributional and efficiency effects of flat tax scenarios for Western European countries. Our simulations show that flat tax rates required to attain revenue...

Understanding the Economic Consequences of Shifting Trends in Population Health

Michaud, Pierre-Carl; Goldman, Dana P.; Lakdawalla, … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009

The public economic burden of shifting trends in population health remains uncertain. Sustained increases in obesity …, and increases public assistance. Using a microsimulation approach, we quantify the competing public-finance consequences … of shifting trends in population health for medical care costs, labor supply, earnings, wealth, tax revenues, and …

The Distributional Effects of Tax-Benefit Policies under New Labour: A Shapley Decomposition

Bargain, Olivier - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009

Using counterfactual microsimulations, Shapley decompositions of time change in inequality and poverty indices make it possible to disentangle and quantify the relative effect of tax-benefit policy changes, compared to all other effects including shifts in the distribution of market income....
