We present a model that integrates the discrete working time choice of heterogenous households into a general equilibrium setting where wages are determined by sectoral bargaining between firms and trade unions. The model is calibrated to German micro and macro data. We then use it to analyse...

Labour market reforms that are designed to stimulate labour supply at the lower end of the wage distribution can never be precisely restricted to affect only the target group. Spillovers to and feedback from other segments of the labour market are unavoidable and may counteract the direct...

This paper presents an applied general equilibrium model for Germany. The model integrates specific labour market institutions in an otherwise standard general equilibrium framework. There are sectoral wage negotiations for two skill types of workers between firms and trade unions. The...

In diesem Beitrag wird auf der Basis des Steuer-Transfer-Mikrosimulationsmodells STSM in Verbindung mit einem diskreten Arbeitsangebotsmodell nach van Soest (1995) der Frage nachgegangen, welche maximalen Arbeitsangebotseffekte von der Reform der geringfügigen Beschäftigung zu erwarten sind....
