A crease in lower half of both blank endpapers, gently showing also on pages. Interior is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. -- This book provides a rigorous technical framework for using behavioural microsimulation models to predict how changes in tax and social security systems affect people's decisions to work. It bridges the gap between complex econometric theory and practical policy evaluation. The authors focus on the "labour supply response" - the way individuals adjust their working hours or participation in the workforce when their net income changes due to government policy. Discrete Choice Modelling: A central feature of the book is the use of discrete choice models to estimate labour supply. Rather than assuming people can work any number of hours, these models recognise that individuals usually choose between specific options (e.g., not working, part-time, or full-time). The MITTS Model: Much of the research is illustrated using the Melbourne Institute Tax and Transfer Simulator (MITTS). The book explains how this tool was developed to analyse the Australian tax system, though the principles are applicable globally. Welfare and Inequality: Beyond just "hours worked," the book explores how to measure the social welfare effects of reforms, including their impact on income inequality and poverty. Revenue Neutrality: It provides methods for calculating whether a proposed tax cut can "pay for itself" through increased labour activity or if it requires offsetting adjustments to remain revenue-neutral. Key Thematic Sections: The volume is structured to guide the reader through the entire simulation process: - Econometric Estimation: How to use household survey data to estimate the parameters of individual preferences. - Simulation Techniques: Detailed explanations of the "calibration" and "arithmetic" involved in microsimulation. - Policy Applications: Case studies evaluating real-world reforms, such as the introduction of Working Tax Credits or changes to marginal tax rates. - Extension to Families: Analysis of how "joint" labour supply decisions are made within a household (e.g., how a husband's tax rate affects a wife's incentive to work). This book is a staple for public economists, treasury officials, and social researchers. It is highly regarded for its clarity in explaining the "black box" of microsimulation, making it accessible to those who need to understand the trade-offs between equity and efficiency in modern fiscal policy. …

Hardback. Condizione: New. Tax policy questions may relate to specific problems, concerning perhaps the revenue implications of a particular tax, or they may involve an extensive analysis of the cost and redistributive effects of many taxes and transfer payments. This book is concerned with the ways in which tax policy design can be enhanced by the use of a behavioural tax microsimulation model capable of evaluating the effects of planned or actual tax reforms. An advantage of such a large-scale tax simulation model, which reflects the heterogeneity of the population and captures the details of the tax structure, is that it can examine detailed practical policy questions and can provide direct inputs into policy debates. After introducing behavioural models, the authors discuss the role of means testing, several hypothetical policy reforms, actual and proposed reforms and recent modelling developments.Tax Policy Design and Behavioural Microsimulation Modelling will be of interest to academics and researchers of economics, econometrics and public finance. It will also be useful reading for policymakers responsible for the formulation of taxation.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This volume consists of a number of papers related to the theme of the dynamics of inequality and poverty. These are subdivided into four separate parts. The five chapters in Part I of this volume are concerned with inequality and poverty over extended time periods. Bandyopadhyay and Cowell deal with the concept of vulnerability in the context of income mobility of the poor. Biewen studies the extent and the composition of chronic poverty in Germany, comparing the results with the United Kingdom and the United States. Van de Ven describes a dynamic microsimulation model of cohort labour earnings based on the Australian population aged between 20 and 55 years, and considers how the widening social gap between the Australia and the UK is reflected by their redistributive systems, through the use of static and dynamic microsimulation. Kelly analyses the lifetime distribution of net worth in Australia using a dynamic microsimulation model to project the cross-sectional and lifetime asset holdings of a 5-year birth cohort over a period of 40 years. In Part II, the issue of intergenerational transfers of poverty is considered. Corak compares generational earnings mobility and the reasons for the degree to which the long run labour market success of children is related to that of their parents across countries. He provides a framework for understanding the underlying causal process as well as the conception of equality of opportunity, as a guide for public policy. Grawe uses data from the British National Childhood Development Study to examine the quality-quantity trade-off in fertility in multiple measures of child achievement. Maani examines the link between parental income and other resources during adolescent years, and higher education choices of the offspring at age 18, using a recent longitudinal data set from New Zealand. Part III is concerned with inequality over time. First, Wolff examines US inequality since the late 1940s, investigating the role of computer investment, dispersion of schooling and unionisation rate in the rise in inequality between 1968 and 2000. Second, Chotikapanich and Griffiths consider the question of testing for dominance in income distributions through the development of Bayesian methods of inference, which report on changes in income distributions in terms of the posterior probabilities. This allows an assessment of whether income distributions have changed over time. The final part of this volume is concerned with measurement issues. Makdissi and Wodon propose a measure of extreme poverty which is multidimensional in nature. It recognises the fact that there are interaction effects between different deprivations and that the length of time during which deprivations are felt may have a negative impact on household well-being. In the final contribution, Cowell examines Theil's approach to the measurement of inequality in the context of subsequent developments over recent decades. It focuses on the dynamics of inequalit. …

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book provides a detailed introduction to behavioural tax microsimulation methods and reviews the use of such models for evaluating tax policy reforms.The steps required to construct a microsimulation model are described in detail and methods of evaluating policy changes are then presented. Labour Supply and Microsimulation deals with a number of issues related to interpreting results from microsimulation, such as welfare measurement, income distribution, confidence intervals around the simulated results and feedback effects on the wage distribution via labour demand. All of the approaches and proposed methods are general and not model-specific. The book includes detailed descriptions of how labour supply models can be used in building behavioural microsimulation models as well as the development of new methods for evaluating policy reforms; for example, dealing with income distribution in discrete hours models, measuring welfare changes and constructing confidence intervals.John Creedy and Guyonne Kalb's book will appeal to graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of labour economics and public finance. Economists in government departments who wish to use the output from microsimulation models in tax policy analysis and design will also find much to engage them within the book.…
