Why has income inequality in Germany increased from 2002 to 2011? : a behavioral microsimulation decomposition
Jessen, Robin - 2016
I propose a method to decompose changes in income inequality into the contributions of policy changes, wage rate changes, and population changes while considering labor supply reactions. Using data from the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), I apply this method to decompose the increase in income...
