Italian Personal Income Tax Reform, Inequality and Welfare: IRE redistributive effects
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents some methods to redistribute the gains (or losses) of a tax reform and a procedure to identify the value judgements according to the tax reform outcome. They are useful to analyse the original proposal of personal income tax (IRPEF) reform presented in Italy by the current Executive on 21 December 2001. The principal outcome will show that ‘the redistribution continues to go from the richer group to the poorer, but with a reduction of intensity’.

متن کاملDoes the Representation of Family Decision Process Matter? a Collective Model of Household Labour Supply for the Evaluation of a Personal Tax Reform in Spain
This paper presents an application of the collective model of labour supply, allowing for labour participation and non-linear budget sets. To identify the model, some preference parameters are estimated, while some other key parameters are calibrated so as to replicate as best as possible observed labour supplies under the 1994 personal tax system in Spain. The model is used to simulate the imp...
