The model simulates the German tax and transfer system using household micro level data. By estimating …

study the impact of two mechanisms on labor supply: (i) differences in marriage stability and (ii) differences in tax … systems. We calibrate the model to U.S. data and study how labor supply in the U.S. changes as we introduce European tax … tax mechanisms combined explain 58% of the variation in labor supply between the U.S. and the European countries in our …

We study three budget-neutral reforms of the German tax and transfer system designed to improve work incentives for … people with low incomes: a feasible flat tax reform that provides a basic income which is equal to the current level of the … and full-time work, respectively. We estimate labor supply reactions and welfare effects using a microsimulation model …
