Jahn, Elke J.; Wagner, Thomas - 2000
The search model contains two matching technologies, the public employment service (PES) with its type-specific registers for workers and vacancies, and the search market where firms advertise vacancies and unemployed who have not been placed by the PES search for jobs. The placement activity of...

Reemployment and Substitution Effects from Increased Activation : Evidence from Times of Crisis
Martins, Pedro S. - 2014
Although activation services such as monitoring, training, or job subsidies have been shown to increase exits from unemployment, there is little comprehensive evidence about the effects of activation during recessions. Here we evaluate a large activation programme introduced in Portugal in 2012,...

Food subsidies in general equilibrium
Hummel, Albert Jan; Ziesemer, Vinzenz - 2021
The Atkinson-Stiglitz theorem on uniform consumption taxation breaks down if prices are endogenous. This paper investigates the implications for optimal food subsidies in China. To do so, we build a general equilibrium model where low-skilled workers have a comparative advantage in the...

Novo, Alvaro A.; Silva, André C. - In: IZA journal of labor policy 6 (2017) 3, pp. 1-14
We test the predictions of an equilibrium search model about the effects of an increase in the maximum duration of … the maximum duration of benefits for three groups of agents and maintained all features of the unemployment insurance for … two other groups. We isolate the effects of the increase in the maximum duration of benefits and test the model. The model …

Haan, Peter; Prowse, Victoria L.; Uhlendorff, Arne - 2021
In this paper we develop a dynamic structural life-cycle model of labor supply behavior which fully accounts for the effect of income tax and transfers on labor supply incentives. Additionally, the model recognizes the demand side driven rationing risk that might prevent individuals from...

Does higher tax morale imply higher optimal labor income tax rate?
Simonovits, András - 2012
We analyze the impact of tax morale on the optimal progressive labor income taxation. Only universal basic income is financed from a linear tax and the financing of public goods is neglected. Each individual supplies labor and (un)declares earning, depending on his labor disutility and tax...

This paper investigates the relationship between economic growth in Poland and four types of taxes and human capital investment. We primarily rely on an exogenous growth model that merges the Mankiw-Romer-Weil model, augmented with learning-by-doing and spillover-effects, with selected elements...
