In the paper we describe in detail how to build linked CGE-microsimulation models (using fictitious data) following … distribution and poverty, although analysed within the same economy and under the same policy simulation. We then analyse in more …

In this study we investigate the relationship between religious and charitable giving. We test how income, the tax …-price of giving and the German church tax, differently affect charitable donations of church members, individuals leaving … church and nonchurch members. We find crowding in between the church tax and charitable giving for church members, but not …

Building on the conceptual framework of Chetty (2009), we show that this assertion does no longer hold for tax … systems with deduction possibilities if (i) deductions generate externalities and (ii) deductions are responsive to tax rate … changes. While the first condition should arguably hold for almost any imaginable tax deduction, we provide a thorough …
