Empirical macromodels under test : a comparative simulation study of the employment effects of a revenue neutral cut in social security contributions

Buscher, Herbert S.; Buslei, Hermann; Göggelmann, Klaus; … - 1998 - Preliminary version

In the paper we simulate a revenue-neutral cut in the social security contribution rate using five different types of macro- / microeconomic models, namely two models based on time-series data where the labour market is modelled basically demand oriented, two models of the class of computable...

Poverty alleviation and the degree of centralisation in European schemes of social assistance

Hölsch, Katja; Kraus, Margit - 2003

In this paper, the relationship between the degree of centralisation and the distributive outcomes in European schemes of social assistance is investigated. For this purpose, a scheme of classification suitable for grouping the EU15 schemes except for Luxembourg according to features related to...

Quasi-Monte Carlo methods in stochastic simulations : an application to fiscal policy simulations using an aggregate disequilibrium model of the West German economy 1960-1994

Franz, Wolfgang; Göggelmann, Klaus; Schellhorn, Martin; … - 1998

Different stochastic simulation methods are used in order to check the robustness of the outcome of policy simulations … possible margin. Because of nonlinearities confidence intervals for the simulation results have to be obtained by means of … stochastic simulations. The main contribution of this paper consists in presenting the simulation results. The robustness of …

A macroeconomic model for the evaluation of labor market reforms

Krebs, Tom; Scheffel, Martin - 2010

We develop a tractable macroeconomic model with employment risk and labor market search in order evaluate the effects of labor market reform on unemployment, growth, and welfare. The model has a large number of risk-averse households who can invest in risk-free physical capital and risky human...

Social security strategies and redistributive effects in European social transfer systems

Kraus, Margit - 2000

This paper evaluates the linkage between social security strategies and redistributive effects in EU social transfer systems. It is argued that the various European systems produce different patterns of redistribution that may be explained by the adoption of different mixes of social security...

Investment and employment adjustment after unification : some results from a macroeconometric disequilibrium model

Radowski, Daniel; Smolny, Werner; Winker, Peter - 1999

The macroeconomic development in West Germany in the aftermath of unification was characterized by a boom period in 1990/1991, a deep recession in 1992/1993 and a slow recovery since then. In East Germany, in contrast, unification induced a breakdown of production and employment followed by a...

Modeling German unification in a disequilibrium framework

Winker, Peter; Smolny, Werner; Radowski, Daniel - 1999

Unification fundamentally changed the terms of quantitative macroeconomic analysis for Germany. Two main areas concerned are data availability for the eastern part of Germany and structural changes within the behavioural equations after unification. Our paper presents results from the estimation...

European schemes of social assistance : an empirical analysis of set-ups and distributive impacts

Hölsch, Katja; Kraus, Margit - 2002

This paper analyses the distributive impacts of various regulatory and institutional settings of European schemes of social assistance. For this purpose, two sets of classifications of European schemes of social assistance are introduced that classify the systems according to regulatory...

The German labour market reforms in a European context : a DSGE analysis

Fries, Claudia; Seymen, Atılım - 2013

While a widespread consensus exists among macroeconomists that the German labour market reforms in 2003-2005 have successfully contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate, critics claim that the reforms led to wage restraint and consequently consumption dampening accompanied by...
