Discrete choice models of labor supply easily account for nonlinearity and nonconvexity in budget sets caused by tax-benefit systems. As a result, they have become very popular for ex ante evaluations
of policy reforms. ...
The literature on household behavior contains hardly any empirical research on the within household distributional effects of tax-benefit policies. We simulate this effect in the framework of a collective model of labor ...
A widely shared intuition holds that individual control over money matters for
the decision process within the household and the subsequent distribution of re-
sources and welfare. As a consequence, there are good reasons ...
We suggest a methodology to calibrate a collective model with household-specific bargaining rules and marriage-specific preferences that incorporate leisure externalities. The empirical identification relies on the assumption ...
We simulate a hypothetical family tax credit on a sample of French couples, using jointly a collective model of labor supply and a tax-benefit calculator. Work behaviors represent here a general concept of “effort,” and ...
A framework for simplified implementation of the collective model of labor supply decisions is presented in the context of fiscal reforms in the UK. Through its collective form the model accounts for the well known problem ...
If participation in the labor market helps to secure women's outside options in
the case of divorce/separation, an increase in the perceived risk of marital dissolution
may accelerate the increase in female labor supply. ...
In-work transfers are often seen as a good trade-off between redistribution and
efficiency, as they alleviate poverty among low-wage households while increasing
nancial incentives to work. The present study explores the ...
This paper proposes a comparison of the results of tax policy analysis obtained on the basis of unitary and collective representations of the household. We first generate labour supplies consistent with the collective ...
La littérature contient très peu de recherches empiriques concernant les effets distributifs du système sociofiscal à l’intérieur du ménage. Nous simulons cet effet dans le cadre du modèle collectif d’offre de travail ...
