Social Security in Belgium : Distributive Outcomes
Jousten, Alain; Lefèbvre, Mathieu; Perelman, Sergio; … - 2005
The paper analyzes the link between old-age income programs and economic outcomes in Belgium. We use a simulation methodology to construct an average pension generosity variable. Our regression analysis explores the link with distributional outcomes in income, consumption and more subjective...

Redistribution of return inequality
Schulz, Karl - 2021
conventional wisdom, rather than calling for more redistribution, the presence of this scale dependence provides a rationale for …. At an aggregate level, a rise in redistribution induces a compression effect on the distribution of pre-tax returns. In … the financial market, I identify general equilibrium trickle-up externalities that provide a force for more redistribution …

The Lifecycle of the 47%
Fullerton, Don - 2016
We assess the concentration and duration of zero tax liabilities and of transfer receipts, using data for households with ten to forty years of observations from the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics. We find that neither is strongly concentrated. Nearly 68% owe no federal tax in at least one...

You, me and the mean : a semiparametric approach to the redistributive effects of transfer programs
Garcia-Medina, B. Cecilia - 2016
I examine how changes in the receipt of social transfers benefits associated to program reforms have affected the Canadian income distribution over the 1996-2006 period. Using the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics, I apply nonparametric decomposition methods to construct density...

Are people inequality averse, and do they prefer redistribution by the state? : evidence from German longitudinal data on life satisfaction
Schwarze, Johannes; Härpfer, Marco - 2002
We link life-satisfaction data to inequality of the pre-government income distribution at the regional level, to estimate the degree of inequality aversion. In addition, we investigate whether a reduction in inequality by the state increases individual well-being. We find that Germans are...
