This paper describes a structural dynamic microsimulation model of the household that has been developed to explore … behavioural responses to pensions policy counterfactuals in Ireland. The model is based upon the life-cycle theory of behaviour …

There are two main sources of data on income distribution. Household based surveys report mainly on inequality in … equivalised household level disposable income. Top income shares, on the other hand, focus on the tax unit as the unit of analysis … arising from household and tax return data. Estimates of the share of the top 10% of tax units in fiscal income from the two …
