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...

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...

The state and income inequality in Brazil

Souza, Marcelo Medeiros Coelho de; Souza, Pedro H. G. F. de - 2015

Using a factor decomposition of the Gini coefficient we measure the contribution to inequality of direct monetary income flows to and from the Brazilian State. The income flows from the State include public servants' earnings, Social Security pensions, unemployment benefits and Social Assistance...

The distributional impact of social spending in Peru

Gaentzsch, Anja - 2018

Peru has made great progress in reducing poverty and inequality in the past decade alongside high economic growth. Albeit this progress, the incidence of poverty and inequality remain high. This paper examines the distributional and poverty impact of the public tax and transfer system in Peru....

Social security strategies and redistributive effects in European social transfer systems

Kraus, Margit - 2000

This paper evaluates the linkage between social security strategies and redistributive effects in EU social transfer systems. It is argued that the various European systems produce different patterns of redistribution that may be explained by the adoption of different mixes of social security...

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...
