Taxation and unemployment : an applied general equilibrium approach : presented at Venice Summer Institute, Workshop on Policy Analysis with Numerical Models, July 2004
Boehringer, Christoph; Boeters, Stefan; Feil, Michael - 2004
We present an applied general equilibrium modelling approach to analyse employment and unemployment effects of labour tax cuts in an economy where wages are determined through firm-union bargaining at the sectoral level. In such a labour market regime, simulations for Germany show that labour...

Optimal taxation of robots
Thuemmel, Uwe - 2018
complement non-routine labor. I show that while it is optimal to distort robot adoption, robots may be either taxed or subsidized …. The robot tax exploits general-equilibrium effects to compress the wage distribution. Wage compression reduces income …-tax distortions of labor supply, thereby raising welfare. In the calibrated model, the optimal robot tax for the US is positive and …

Optimal linear income taxation and education subsidies under skill-biased technical change
Jacobs, Bas; Thuemmel, Uwe - 2020
This paper studies how linear tax and education policy should optimally respond to skill-biased technical change (SBTC). SBTC affects optimal taxes and subsidies by changing i) direct distributional benefits, ii) indirect redistributional effects due to wage-(de)compression, and iii) education...

Inequality and growth : the dual role of human capital in development
Eicher, Theo S. - 2000
To examine how human capital accumulation influences both economic growth and income inequality, we carefully endogenize the demand and supply of skills. We explicitly introduce the costs and externalities in education, and examine how both relate to learning-by-doing and R&D intensity. In...

The rise of generative AI : modelling exposure, substitution, and inequality effects on the US labour market
Auer, Raphael A.; Köpfer, David; Švéda, Josef - 2024
How exposed is the labour market to ever-advancing AI capabilities, to what extent does this substitute human labour, and how will it affect inequality? We address these questions in a simulation of 711 US occupations classified by the importance and level of cognitive skills. We base our...

Top incomes, rising inequality, and welfare
Lansing, Kevin J.; Markiewicz, Agnieszka - 2012
This paper develops a general-equilibrium model of skill-biased technological change that approximates the observed shifts in the shares of wage and non-wage income going to the top decile of U.S. households since 1980. Under realistic assumptions, we find that all agents can benefit from the...

Who benefits from AI? : project-level evidence on labor demand, operations and profitability
Yilmaz, Erdem Dogukan; Peukert, Christian - 2024
We examine how the adoption of digital automation technology affects labor demand, operations and profitability in the … context of the logistics industry. Our data covers 9,300 digital automation projects in a multinational company involving … labor cost increased after the adoption of digital automation technology, attributable to increased labor demand and more …

Redistributive income taxation with directed technical change
Loebbing, Jonas - 2020
What are the implications of (endogenous) directed technical change for the design of redistributive income taxes? I study this question in a Mirrleesian economy augmented to include endogenous technology development and adoption choices by firms. Under certain conditions, any progressive tax...

Impacts of labor taxation with perfectly and imperfectly competitive domestic labor markets under flexible outsourcing
Koskela, Erkki - 2009
What are the impacts of labor tax reform on wage setting and employment to keep the relative tax burden per low-skilled and high-skilled workers constant in the case of heterogenous domestic labor markets, i.e. imperfect competition in low-skilled labor and perfect competition in high-skilled...
