Behavioural and welfare effects of basic income policies : a simulation for European countries

Colombino, Ugo; Locatelli Biey, Marilena; Narazani, Edlira - 2008

We develop and estimate a microeconometric model of household labour supply in four European countries representative of different economies and welfare policy regimes: Denmark, Italy, Portugal and United Kingdom. We then simulate, under the constraint of constant total net tax revenue, the...

sets for static tax-benefit microsimulation in Italy. We focus on all possible alternatives, namely using (a) SHIW or (b …) IT-SILC data using a consistent net-to-gross microsimulation model, or © IT-SILC data using the gross incomes provided … microsimulation model and calibrating for tax evasion provide a very precise fit with external statistics, improving on results which …
