Training, Mobility, and Wages: Specific Versus General Human Capital
Garloff, Alfred; Kuckulenz, Anja - 2005
This paper considers training, mobility decisions and wages together to test for the specificity of human capital … contained in continuing training courses. We empirically analyse the relationship between training, mobility and wages in two …, we find that wages are lower for job changers for the group of training participants, so wages decrease when trained …

Assessing Intergenerational Earnings Persistence Among German Workers
Pfeiffer, Friedhelm; Eisenhauer, Philipp - 2008
In this study we assess the relationship between father and son earnings among (West) German Workers. To reduce the lifecycle and attenuation bias a novel sampling procedure is developed and applied to the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) 1984-2006. Our preferred point estimate indicates that...

Family Tax Splitting: A Microsimulation of its Potential Labour Supply and Intra-household Welfare Effects in Germany
Laisney, François; Beninger, Denis; Beblo, Miriam - 2003
This paper assesses the effects that an introduction of the French family splitting mechanism would have on German families' labour supply and intra-household consumption behaviour. We use simulated real world microdata created by means of a 'deterministic' collective labour supply model. The...

Welfare Analysis of Fiscal Reforms: Does the Representation of the Family Decision Process Matter? Evidence for Germany
Laisney, François; Beninger, Denis; Beblo, Miriam - 2003
This paper compares predictions obtained for the analysis of tax reforms with collective and unitary models of household labour supply and consumption behaviour. We simulate real world microdata by means of a collective approach, using a compound procedure of estimation and calibration based on...

Estimation of Household Demand Systems with Theoretically Compatible Engel Curves and Unit Value Specifications
Preston, Ian; Laisney, François; Crawford, Ian A. - 2002
We develop a method for estimation of price reactions using unit value data which exploits the implicit links between quantity and unit value choices. This allows us to combine appealing Engel curve specifications with a model of unit value determination in a way which is consistent with demand...

Comparison between unitary and collective models of household labor supply with taxation
Laisney, François; Beninger, Denis - 2002
Several recent papers have shown the relevance of collective models for the empirical investigation of household labor supply and consumption. Yet the estimation of collective models in the presence of non-linear budget sets and participation decisions remains a daunting task. This paper...

Demand Systems with Unit Values: A Comparsion of Two Specifications
Lahatte, Agénor; Miquel, Ruth; Laisney, François; … - 1997
The availability of quantity information along with expenditure information in some household surveys allows the estimation of price reactions on the basis of unit values. We compare two specifications that have been proposed in this context by Deaton (1990) and Crawford et al. (1997) in order...

The incidence of VAT evasion
Asatryan, Zareh; Gomtsyan, David - 2020
Who benefits from the evasion of value added taxes (VAT)? Using a reform that enforced VAT on previously non-compliant large retailers in Armenia, we estimate a onethird passthrough of the tax burden on prices. This suggests that pre-enforcement evasion rents were broadly shared with consumers...
