Measuring Distributional Effects of Fiscal Reforms
Peichl, Andreas; Ochmann, Richard R. - 2006
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of how to analyse the distributional effects of fiscal reforms. Thereby, distributional effects shall be differentiated by four subconcepts, i.e. 1.) the traditional concept of inequality, 2.) the rather novel concept of polarisation, 3.) the...

Richer or more numerous or both? : the role of population and economic growth for top income shares
Krolage, Carla; Peichl, Andreas; Waldenström, Daniel - 2018
When measuring income inequality over long periods of time, accounting for population and productivity growth is important. This paper presents three alternative measures of top income shares that more explicitly account for population and income growth than the standard measure. We apply these...

Does size matter? : the impact of changes in household structure on income distribution in Germany
Peichl, Andreas; Pestel, Nico; Schneider, Hilmar - 2010
In Germany, two observations can be made over the past 20 years: First, income inequality has been constantly increasing while, second, the average household size has been declining dramatically. The analysis of income distribution relies on equivalence-weighted incomes which take into account...

Paulus, Alari; Peichl, Andreas - 2008 - This version: 11th March 2008
The flat income tax has become increasingly popular recently, yet its implementation is limited to Eastern Europe. We analyse the distributional and efficiency eects of flat tax scenarios for Western European countries. Our simulations show that flat tax rates required to attain revenue...

Distributional effects of macroeconomic shocks in real-time : a novel method applied to the Covid-19 crisis in Germany
Bruckmeier, Kerstin; Peichl, Andreas; Popp, Martin; … - 2020
The highly dynamic nature of the COVID-19 crisis poses an unprecedented challenge to policy makers around the world to take appropriate income-stabilizing countermeasures. To properly design such policy measures, it is important to quantify their effects in real-time. However, data on the...

Validating structural labor supply models : conference paper
Löffler, Max; Peichl, Andreas; Siegloch, Sebastian - 2013 - Work in progress, This version: February 27, 2013
Although discrete hours choice models have become the workhorse in labor supply analyses. Yet, they are often criticized for being a black box due to their numerous underlying modeling assumptions, with respect to, e.g., the functional form, unobserved error components or several exogeneity...

Own-wage labor supply elasticities: variation across time and estimation methods
Bargain, Olivier; Peichl, Andreas - In: IZA Journal of Labor Economics 5 (2016) 10, pp. 1-31
There is a huge variation in the size of labor supply elasticities in the literature, which hampers policy analysis. While recent studies show that preference heterogeneity across countries explains little of this variation, we focus on two other important features: observation period and...
