Behavioral Microsimulation Of A Dual Income Tax Reform: A Mixed-Logit Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Simulation studies of the economic impact of dual income taxes are almost always based on general equilibriummodels. They assume one representative household. Their results are sensitive to one behavioral parameter, the labor supply elasticity, which is assumed to be given a priori — instead of being estimated. This paper shows how to model the labor supply incentive effects of a Dual Income Tax reform based on a sample of thousands of households representative for the population in Germany and using flexible mixed logit simulation estimators.

متن کاملDistributional and Fiscal Effects of the German Tax Reform 2000 A Behavioral Microsimulation Analysis
In the year 2000, the German government passed the most ambitious tax reform in postwar German history aiming at a significant tax relief for households. Drawing on data of the GSOEP, we analyze the distributional and fiscal effects of the tax reform. Our analysis employs microsimulation techniques. Furthermore, we estimate behavioral effects of the tax reform using a discrete choice labor supp...

This paper analyses the impact of the corporate tax reform introduced in Italy at the beginning of 2004 on firms’ tax burden. For this purpose we develop a microsimulation model reproducing the Italian corporate tax system. The model is based on an integrated dataset combining ISTAT (Italian National Statistical Office) survey data and published accounts data for corporations, for the year 2000...

متن کاملMicrosimulation of indirect taxes
The goal of this paper is to simulate a tax shift from labour to consumption and perform a distributional analysis of the reform. Microsimulation programs are often uniquely focussed on the personal income tax system and on social security contributions and benefits. However, against a political background where income taxes are under increased pressure and alternative, less distortive forms of...
