This paper estimates the incidence of corporate taxes on wages using a 20-year panel German municipalities exploiting 6,800 tax changes for identification. Using event study designs and difference-in-differences models, we find that workers bear about one-half total burden. Administrative linked employer-employee data allow us to estimate heterogeneous firm worker effects. Our findings highlight importance labor market institutions profit-shifting opportunities wages. Moreover, show...
COVID-19 cases are very high across Europe. Current measures not reducing virus spread sufficiently, and new SARS-CoV-2 variants emerging. The B.1.1.7 B1.351 variants, first identified in the UK South Africa, respectively, have to many European countries.1European Centre for Disease Prevention ControlRapid increase of a variant with multiple spike protein mutations observed United Kingdom.

We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17 European countries and United States using a harmonized empirical approach. find that own-wage are relatively small more uniform across than previously considered. Nonetheless, such differences do exist, found not to arise from different tax-benefit systems, wage/hour levels, or demographic compositions countries, suggesting genuine in work preferences countries. Furthermore, three other findings...
Welfare state typologies are generally based on the institutional design of welfare policies. In this paper we analyse whether such also persist when they applied to effective redistributive outcomes states’ tax and transfer contrast widespread use macro indicators, our empirical analysis relies internationally comparable microdata in order account for distribution resources across households. We perform a hierarchical cluster check classical typology Western European states reproduces...
Income inequality in Germany has been continually increasing during the past 20 years. One cause of this development, among others, could be structural shifts household formation due to long‐term societal trends. These affect per capita incomes, which repercussions for income distribution even if wages remain constant. The aim paper is quantify proportion changing structures increase inequality. We find that growth gap (for both East and West from 1991 2007) indeed strongly related changes...
AbstractDue to behavioural effects triggered by redistributional interventions, it is still an open question whether government policies are able effectively reduce income inequality. We contribute this research using different country-level data sources study inequality trends in OECD countries since 1980. first investigate the development of over time before analysing governments can Different identification strategies, fixed and instrumental variables models, provide some evidence that...
We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17 European countries and US, separately by gender marital status. Measurement differences are netted out using a harmonized empirical approach comparable data sources. find that own-wage relatively small much more uniform across than previously thought. Differences exist nonetheless found not to arise from different tax-benefit systems or demographic compositions countries. Thus, we cannot reject have...
Abstract This paper discusses the economic effects of a potential cut‐off German economy from Russian energy imports. We use multi‐sector open‐economy model and simplified approach based on an aggregate production function to estimate shock inputs. show that are likely be substantial but manageable because substitution imports reallocation along chain. In short run, stop would lead output loss relative baseline situation, without cut‐off, in range 0.5% 3% GDP.
How do different components of the tax and transfer systems affect disposable income inequality? This article explores redistributive effects benefit instruments in enlarged European Union (EU) based on two approaches. Inequality analysis sequential accounting approach suggests that benefits are most important factor reducing inequality majority countries. The source decomposition approach, however, play a negligible role sometimes even contribute slightly positively to inequality. On...
In this paper, we define a new class of richness measures. contrast to the often used headcount, these measures are sensitive changes in rich individuals' incomes and, therefore, allow for more sophisticated analysis richness. We demonstrate application analyzing development poverty and over time Germany. Moreover, compare Germany many other European countries investigate impact tax reforms on Using examples, show importance taking intensity into account not only number people beyond given...

Abstract There is a huge variation in the size of labor supply elasticities literature, which hampers policy analysis. While recent studies show that preference heterogeneity across countries explains little this variation, we focus on two other important features: observation period and estimation method. We start with thorough survey existing evidence for both Western Europe USA, over long from different empirical approaches. Then, our meta-analysis attempts to disentangle role time...
