Empirical macromodels under test : a comparative simulation study of the employment effects of a revenue neutral cut in social security contributions
Buscher, Herbert S. (contributor) - 1998
In the paper we simulate a revenue-neutral cut in the social security contribution rate using five different types of macro- / microeconomic models, namely two models based on time-series data where the labour market is modelled basically demand oriented, two models of the class of computable...

Quasi-Monte Carlo methods in stochastic simulations : an application to fiscal policy simulations using an aggregate disequilibrium model of the West German economy 1960 - 1994
Franz, Wolfgang (contributor) - 1998
Different stochastic simulation methods are used in order to check the robustness of the outcome of policy simulations … possible margin. Because of nonlinearities confidence intervals for the simulation results have to be obtained by means of … stochastic simulations. The main contribution of this paper consists in presenting the simulation results. The robustness of …

Are fiscal VAR's non-fundamentalness easily reversible through the addition of informative variables?
Vonbun, Christian; Lima, Elcyon Caiado Rocha - 2021
The VAR/SVAR (Vector Autoregressive and Structural Vector Autoregressive) models are the cornerstone of the contemporaneous empirical macroeconomic research, in particular for being able to measure the impact of fiscal policy shocks. They may be employed as atheoretical models, as well as a mean...

National economic impacts of an EU environmental policy : an applied general equilibrium analysis
Conrad, Klaus; Schmidt, Tobias F. N. - 1995
The objective of this paper is to quantify the economic effects of the introduction of a system of tradable permits in the European Union (EU). For this purpose we use linked applied general equilibrium models (AGE) for eleven EU member countries. This method enables us to measure the change in...

Investment and employment adjustment after unification : some results from a macroeconometric disequilibrium model
Radowski, Daniel; Smolny, Werner; Winker, Peter - 1999
The macroeconomic development in West Germany in the aftermath of unification was characterized by a boom period in 1990/1991, a deep recession in 1992/1993 and a slow recovery since then. In East Germany, in contrast, unification induced a breakdown of production and employment followed by a...

Modeling German unification in a disequilibrium framework
Winker, Peter; Smolny, Werner; Radowski, Daniel - 1999
Unification fundamentally changed the terms of quantitative macroeconomic analysis for Germany. Two main areas concerned are data availability for the eastern part of Germany and structural changes within the behavioural equations after unification. Our paper presents results from the estimation...

Distributional effects of subsidizing retirement savings accounts : evidence from Germany
Corneo, Giacomo; Schröder, Carsten; König, Johannes - 2015
We empirically investigate the distributional consequences of the Riester scheme, the main private pension subsidization program in Germany. We find that 38% of the aggregate subsidy accrues to the top two deciles of the population, but only 7.3% to the bottom two. Nonetheless the Riester scheme...

Distributional effects of a minimum wage in a welfare state : the case of Germany
Müller, Kai-Uwe; Steiner, Viktor - 2013
A popular argument for a federal minimum wage is that it will prevent in-work poverty and reduce income inequality. We examine this assertion for Germany, a welfare state with a relative generous means-tested social minimum and high marginal tax rates. Our analysis is based on a microsimulation...
