The impact of labor markets on emergence and persistence of regional asymmetries

Picard, Pierre M.; Toulemonde, Eric - 2001

This paper investigates the impact of labor markets and economies of agglomeration on firms location. We show that the existence of a lower bound on wage (e.g. a minimum wage or a reservation wage) introduces asymmetric location of firms. Moreover, changes in that lower bound or in global...

Still waters run deep : groundwater contamination and education outcomes in India

Aggarwal, Khushboo; Barua, Rashmi; Vidal-Fernandez, Marian - 2024

We investigate the impact of groundwater contamination on educational outcomes in India. Our study leverages variations … exposure to contaminants. Using self-collected survey data from public schools in Assam, one of the most groundwater …-contaminated regions in India, we find that prolonged exposure to unsafe groundwater is associated with increased school absenteeism, grade …

Documentation IZAΨMOD v3.0 : the IZA policy simulation model

Löffler, Max; Peichl, Andreas; Pestel, Nico; Siegloch, … - 2014

This paper describes IZAΨMOD, the policy microsimulation model of the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA). The model uses household microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study and firm data from the German linked employer-employee dataset LIAB. IZAΨMOD consists of three components:...

Income taxation and dual job labour supply

Choe, Chung; Oaxaca, Ronald L.; Renna, Francesco - 2020

This paper examines the effects of increasing marginal tax rates on labour supply in a setting in which workers may hold two jobs and may be constrained in their weekly hours on their main jobs. A panel data, multi-equation labour supply model is estimated with correction for tax system...

Combining microsimulation and optimization to identify optimal flexible tax-transfer rules

Colombino, Ugo; Islam, Nizamul - 2020

We use a behavioural microsimulation model embedded in a numerical optimization procedure in order to identify optimal (social welfare maximizing) tax-transfer rules. We consider the class of tax-transfer rules consisting of a universal basic income and a tax defined by a 4th degree polynomial....

Cooperative models in action : simulation of a Nash-bargaining model of household labor supply with taxation

Bargain, Olivier (contributor); Moreau, Nicolas (contributor) - 2005

Several theoretical contributions, starting with McElroy and Horney (1981) and Manser and Brown (1980), have suggested to model household behavior as a Nash-bargaining game. Since then, very few attempts have been made to operationalize cooperative models of household labor supply for policy...
