Macroeconomic evaluation of labor market reform in Germany
Krebs, Tom; Scheffel, Martin - 2012
-term unemployed. In this paper, we use an incomplete-market model with search unemployment to evaluate the macro-economic and welfare …-run (noncyclical)unemployment rate in Germany by 1.4 percentage points. We also find that the welfare of employed households increases …, but the welfare of unemployed households decreases even with moderate degree of risk aversion. …

The benefits of linking CGE and Microsimulation Models - Evidence from a Flat Tax analysis
Peichl, Andreas - 2008
Mircrosimulation models (MSM) and Computable General Equilibrium models (CGE) have both been widely used in policy analysis. The combination of these two model types allows the utilisation of the advantages of both types. The aim of this paper is to describe the state-of-the-art in simulation...

Discrete Working Time Choice in an Applied General Equilibrium Model
Gürtzgen, Nicole; Feil, Michael; Boeters, Stefan - 2004
We present a model that integrates the discrete working time choice of heterogenous households into a general equilibrium setting where wages are determined by sectoral bargaining between firms and trade unions. The model is calibrated to German micro and macro data. We then use it to analyse...

Alternative Approaches to Discrete Working Time Choice in an AGE Framework
Arntz, Melanie; Boeters, Stefan; Gürtzgen, Nicole - 2005
We compare two options of integrating discrete working time choice of heterogenous households into a general equilibrium model. The first, known from the literature, produces household heterogeneity through a working time preference parameter. We contrast this with a model that directly...

Reformen im Niedriglohnsektor: Eine integrierte CGE-Mikrosimulationsstudie der Arbeitsangebots- und Beschäftigungseffekte
Franz, Wolfgang; Guertzgen, Nicole; Schubert, Stefanie; … - 2007
Ziel dieses Beitrags ist die Quantifizierung der mit der Einführung des Arbeitslosengeldes II verbundenen Arbeitsangebots- und Beschäftigungseffekte. Zusätzlich wird ein Reformszenario simuliert, welches die Anreizstruktur im Niedriglohnbereich verbessern soll. Methodisch wird ein...

Heterogeneous Labour Markets in a Microsimulation-AGE Model: Application to Welfare Reform in Germany
Boeters, Stefan; Feil, Michael - 2008
Labour market reforms that are designed to stimulate labour supply at the lower end of the wage distribution can never be precisely restricted to affect only the target group. Spillovers to and feedback from other segments of the labour market are unavoidable and may counteract the direct...

Heterogeneous labour markets in a microsimulation-AGE model : application to welfare reform in Germany
Boeters, Stefan; Feil, Michael - 2008
Wir untersuchen die Auswirkungen von Steuer-Transfer-Reformen in einem konsistent gekoppelten Mikro-Makro-Modell mit heterogenen Arbeitsmärkten. Das Modell umfasst drei Qualifikationstypen, die in der Produktion unvollständig substituierbar sind. Die empirisch geschätzten...

Documentation IZAΨMOD v3.0 : the IZA policy simulation model
Löffler, Max; Peichl, Andreas; Pestel, Nico; Siegloch, … - 2014
This paper describes IZAΨMOD, the policy microsimulation model of the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA). The model uses household microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study and firm data from the German linked employer-employee dataset LIAB. IZAΨMOD consists of three components:...
