We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17
European countries and the United States using a harmonized empirical approach. We find …

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 …

The aim of this book is threefold. The first is to discuss the different options available for the
construction of an indicator of job quality for comparative purposes, and their implications …

We provide an overview of microsimulation approaches for assessing the effects of policy on
income distribution. We focus on the role of tax-benefit policies and review the concept of …

This chapter reviews the use of microsimulation in understanding income inequality. The
primary added value of microsimulation models is the capacity to simulate counterfactual …

In-work benefits are promoted as a way to make low-income families better off without
introducing adverse work incentives. In 1999, the structure of in-work benefits in the UK …

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 …

There is a long-standing debate about the extent to which economic theory should inform
econometric modeling and estimation. This debate is particularly evident in the …

This paper studies the bunching identification strategy for an elasticity parameter that
summarizes agents' responses to changes in slope (kink) or intercept (notch) of a schedule …

This paper presents an overview of microsimulation as a method to evaluate health and
health care policies and interventions. After presenting a brief survey of microsimulation …
