Distributional and welfare effects of replacing monetary benefits with iniversal basic income in Spain

Badenes Plá, Nuria; Gambau-Suelves, Borja; Navas … - 2019

This papers quantifies the redistributive effects on progressivity, poverty and welfare, that would occur if the monetary benefits currently in place in the Spanish system were to be replaced by a neutral alternative in terms of spending, granting a universal basic income (UBI) to everyone. We...

The Tax Unit and Household Production

Piggott, John - 2008

Under a progressive income tax, conventional wisdom is that taxing individuals rather than households is preferred from an efficiency point of view. The reason is that secondary workers, whose labor supply elasticity is high, will be taxed at a lower marginal rate than primary workers, whose...

Optimal Taxation, Child Care and Models of the Household

Apps, Patricia - 2014

This paper presents the properties of optimal piecewise linear tax systems for two-earner households, based on joint and individual incomes respectively. A key contribution is the analysis of the interaction between second earner wage differences, variation in the price of child care and...

Designing Optimal Taxes with a Microeconometric Model of Household Labour Supply

Aaberge, Rolf - 2006

The purpose of this paper is to present an exercise where we identify optimal income tax rules under the constraint of fixed tax revenue. To this end, we estimate a microeconomic model with 78 parameters that capture heterogeneity in consumption-leisure preferences for singles and couples as...

Optimal Taxation with Home Production

Olovsson, Conny - 2014

Optimal taxes for Europe and the U.S. are derived in a realistically calibrated model in which agents buy consumption goods and services and use home capital and labor to produce household services. The optimal tax rate on services is substantially lower than the tax rate on goods. Specifically,...
