Bargain, Olivier; Dolls, Mathias; Neumann, Dirk; … - 2013
We analyze to which extent social inequality aversion differs across nations when control- ling for actual country differences in labor supply responses. Towards this aim, we estimate labor supply elasticities at both extensive and intensive margins for 17 EU countries and the US. Using the same...

Relative income, redistribution and well-being
FitzRoy, Felix; Nolan, Michael - 2010
In a model with heterogeneous workers and both intensive and extensive margins of employment, we consider two systems of redistribution: a universal basic income, and a categorical unemployment benefit. Well-being depends on own-consumption relative to average employed workers' consumption, and...

Income taxes, property values and migration
Glazer, Amihai; Kanniainen, Vesa; Poutvaara, Panu - 2005
We consider taxation by a utilitarian government in the presence of heterogeneous locations within a country. We show that a utilitarian government never equalizes after-tax incomes, even when it can impose group-specific lump-sum taxes. If migration is impossible, a utilitarian government may...
