This paper describes IZAΨMOD, the policy microsimulation model of the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA). The model … distinguishes our model from most other microsimulation tools. A demand module takes into account possible restrictions of labor …

birth cohorts in Germany. The analysis is based on a rich dataset that combines household survey data from the German Socio …-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) and process-produced microdata from the German pension insurance. A microsimulation model is developed … East Germany and for the low educated. Using simulated life cycle employment and income profiles, we project gross future …

policy issue in Germany. We analyze the distributional effects of a nationwide legal minimum wage of 7.50 € per hour on the … basis of a microsimulation model which accounts for the complex interactions between individual wages, the tax … consumption. Simulation results show that the minimum wage would be rather ineffective in raising net household incomes and …
