An evaluation of the tax-transfer treatment of married couples in European countries
Immervoll, Herwig; Kleven, Henrik Jacobsen; Kreiner, … - 2009
This paper presents an evaluation of the tax-transfer treatment of married couples in 15 EU countries using the EUROMOD microsimulation model. First, we show that many tax-transfer schemes in Europe feature negative jointness defined as a situation where the tax rate on one person depends...

Estimating the Laffer Tax Rate on Capital Income: Cross-Base Responses Matter!
Lefebvre, Marie-Noëlle; Lehmann, Etienne; Sicsic, Michaël - 2023
We theoretically express the Laffer tax rate on capital income as a function of the elasticities of capital income (the "direct" elasticity) and of labor income (the "cross" elasticity) with respect to the net-of-tax rate on capital income. We estimate these elasticities using salient capital...

Islam, Nizamul; Colombino, Ugo - 2017
We present an exercise in empirical optimal taxation for European countries from three areas: Southern, Central and Northern Europe. For each country, we estimate a microeconometric model of labour supply for both couples and singles. A procedure that simulates the households' choices under...

The Role of Payoff Parameters for Cooperation in the One-Shot Prisoner's Dilemma
Gächter, Simon; Lee, Kyeongtae; Sefton, Martin; Weber, … - 2024
The prisoner's dilemma (PD) is arguably the most important model of social dilemmas, but our knowledge about how a PD's material payoff structure affects cooperation is incomplete. In this paper we investigate the effect of variation in material payoffs on cooperation, focusing on one-shot PD...

We experimentally manipulate two aspects of the cognitive environment, cognitive depletion and recent sugar intake, and estimate their effects on individuals' time preferences in a way that allows us to identify the structural parameters of a simple (α,β,δ) intertemporal utility function for...
