microsimulation methods we use a computable general equilibrium model which incorporates a discrete choice model of labour supply to … reform on wages and unemployment. The simulation results show that general equilibrium wage reactions tend to mitigate labour …

In this study we assess the impact of the Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) on labour supply, GDP and income … distribution in Canada, using a general equilibrium microsimulation model. We also estimate labour supply and demand elasticities … using survey data to ensure that households’ behaviour is properly captured in the model. Simulation results show that the …
