The aging-inflation puzzle : on the interplay between aging, inflation and pension systems

Härtl, Klaus; Leite, Duarte - 2019 - This version: February 2019

This paper focuses on the empirically observed relationship between demographic change and inflation and explores the … demographic change and inflation dynamics. We are the first to formally disentangle the two components of demographic change …: population size and structure, and determine how they separately affect inflation. We find that changes in population size are a …

Labour supply and commuting : implications for optimal road taxes

Gutierrez-i-Puigarnau, Eva; Ommeren, Jos van - 2009

A new paradigm for transport economists has been established: revenues of a welfare-maximising road tax should be employed to reduce the level of a distortionary income tax. An essential assumption to reach this conclusion is that the number of workdays is optimally chosen, whereas daily...

Empirical welfare analysis with preference heterogeneity : conference paper

Decoster, André; Haan, Peter - 2013

We apply recently proposed individual welfare measures in the context of preference heterogeneity, derived from structural labour supply models. Contrary to the standard practice of using reference preferences and wages, these measures preserve preference heterogeneity in the normative step of...

Labour supply after inheritances and the role of expectations

Doorley, Karina; Pestel, Nico - 2016

This paper examines the effect of wealth on labour market behaviour. Providing convincing evidence on this relationship is challenging since wealth and labour supply may be endogenously determined. We overcome this by looking at wealth shocks in the form of inheritances, distinguishing between...

The determinants of reservation wages in Germany : does a motivation gap exist?

Christensen, Björn - 2001

This paper investigates the reservation wages of unemployed persons on the basis of a job-search model with non-static reservation wages using panel data from Germany from 1987 to 1998. The results suggest that reservation wages are relatively high in Germany compared to other countries....

Labour supply and commuting

Gutiérrez-i-Puigarnau, Eva; Ommeren, Jos van - 2009

We examine the effect of commuting on labour supply patterns. A labour supply model is introduced which shows that commuting distance increases daily workhours, whereas the effect on total labour supply is ambiguous. This paper addresses these issues empirically using the socio-economic panel...

Keeping up with the Joneses : income comparisons and labour supply ; conference paper

Goerke, Laszlo; Pannenberg, Markus - 2013 - Preliminary version August 07, 2013

We investigate whether working time is related to the intensity of income comparisons and relative income. Our simple theoretical model demonstrates that the effects of relative income concerns depend on whether an individual can choose contractual working hours and/or overtime. In the empirical...

Empirical welfare analysis in random utility models of labour supply

Decoster, André; Haan, Peter - 2010

The aim of this paper is to apply recently proposed individual welfare measures in the context of random utility models of labour supply. Contrary to the standard practice of using reference preferences and wages, these measures preserve preference heterogeneity in the normative step of the...

Gathering support for green tax reform : evidence from German household surveys

Ploeg, Frederick van der; Rezai, Armon; Tovar, Miguel - 2021

Green tax reform is unpopular because, typically, the poor are hurt most by the higher prices of carbon-intensive commodities. If revenues from a carbon tax are recycled, it may be feasible to gain popular support for green tax reform. To investigate this, we estimate an EASI demand system from...
