We derive the asymptotic sampling distribution of various estimators frequently used to order distributions in terms of poverty, welfare and inequality. This includes estimators of most of the poverty indices currently in use, as well as estimators of the curves used to infer stochastic...

We analyze non-cooperative commodity taxation in a symmetric two-country trade model characterized by monopolistic competition and international firm and capital mobility. In this setting, taxes in one country affect foreign welfare through the relocation of mobile firms and through changes in...

The German start-up subsidy (SUS) program for the unemployed has recently undergone a major make-over, altering its …-reform subsidy on individual employment prospects and labor market earnings up to 40 months after entering the program. Our results … suggest large and persistent long-term effects of the subsidy on employment probabilities and net earned income. These effects …
