Intergenerational income mobility and income taxation
Kurnaz, Musab; Soytas, Mehmet A. - 2019
We study the impact of income taxation on intergenerational income correlation. We estimate a life cycle dynastic model and conduct counterfactual analysis to observe the effects of various tax regimes. Compared to a no tax environment, a flat tax regime reduces the correlation only by one...

Modeling the effects of grade retention in high school
Cockx, Bart; Picchio, Matteo; Baert, Stijn - 2017
A dynamic discrete choice model is set up to estimate the effects of grade retention in high school, both in the short-run (end-of-year evaluation) and in the long-run (drop-out and delay). In contrast to other evaluation approaches, this model captures essential treatment heterogeneity and...
