Optimal tax progressivity in unionised labour markets : simulation results for Germany
Boeters, Stefan - 2010
Changing the income tax progressivity in labour markets with collective wage bargaining generates a trade-off. On the one hand, higher progressivity distorts individual labour supply decisions at the hours-of-work margin, on the other hand, it reduces unemployment by exerting downward pressure...

Unobserved bilateral search on the labor market : a theory-based correction for a common flaw in empirical matching studies
Sunde, Uwe - 2002
This paper develops a model of equilibrium unemployment with (unobservable) endogenous on-the-job search and (partly unobservable) endogenous search behavior by firms. The model allows to analyze crowding-out of unemployed job seekers by endogenous on-the job search of employees, and the...

Reforming family taxation in Germany : labor supply vs. insurance effects
Fehr, Hans; Kallweit, Manuel; Kindermann, Fabian - 2013
The present paper quantifies the economic consequences of eliminating the system of income splitting in Germany. We apply a dynamic simulation model with overlapping generations where single and married agents have to decide on labor supply and homework facing income and lifespan risk. The...

Optimal Income Taxation of Married Couples : An Empirical Analysis of Joint and Individual Taxation
Haan, Peter; Navarro, Dolores - 2021
In this paper we develop a discrete model of optimal taxation of married couples and empirically discuss the optimality of income taxation for this group. To this end, we derive the social welfare function which guarantees that joint taxation of married couples is optimal. We will contrast this...

Job Search with Nonparticipation
Frijters, Paul; van der Klaauw, Bas - 2004
these transitions allows the identification of duration dependence in the job offer arrival rate and the wage offer … likelihood. The results show that the presence of significant negative duration dependence in the wage offer distribution causes … reservation wages to decrease. The rate at which job offers arrive is constant over the unemployment duration. These findings …
