This chapter reviews options of labor market modeling in a computable general equilibrium
framework. On the labor supply side, two principal modeling options are distinguished and …

Studying the poverty and income distribution effects of macroeconomic policies or shocks
requires a methodology that accounts on the one hand for the nature of the policy or shock …

When assessing the effects of policy reforms on the labor market, most studies only focus on
labor supply. The interaction of supply and demand is not explicitly modeled, which might …

In the tax policy debate, differentiation of value-added taxes (VAT) is often justified by
distributional concerns. Our quantitative analysis for Germany indicates that such concerns …

Since the late seventies, researchers and policy makers have sought to analyse and
simulate the impacts of macro policy reforms on income distribution. Concerns such as the …

We present a general-equilibrium behavioural microsimulation model designed to assess
long-run macroeconomic, fiscal and distributional consequences of tax and benefit reforms …

Microsimulation (MS) and Computable General Equilibrium models (CGE) have both been
widely used in policy analysis. Their combination allows the utilisation of the advantages of …

In the paper we describe in detail how to build linked CGE-microsimulation models (using
fictitious data) following three main approaches: one in accordance with the fully integrated …

This chapter reviews options of labor market modelling in a CGE framework. On the labor
supply side, two principal modelling options are distinguished and discussed: aggregated …

The German 2008 corporate tax reform followed the distinct and internationally prevalent
pattern of tax-rate cut cum base broadening. Based on a new corporate microsimulation …
