[…] much more effective than encouraging part-time work. Some lone parents offered incentives to work part-time cut their hours in response. Encouraging part-time work had a very small impact on retention. Encouraging full-time work had a much larger impact, although we cannot discount that some of this was due to other aspects of the ERA […]
[…] lower youth incomes and greater risk of youth poverty. Social protection systems are ill-equipped to address rising youth poverty. They shield the elderly’s real incomes from the impact of the crisis but offer only limited assistance to young unemployed individuals. Moreover, the latest fiscal consolidation efforts were more focused on programs helping the working […]
[…] and industry should be discussing and addressing. It seeks to ask:1) How do family members support each other financially? And, for what purposes? And, what is the impact of support provided? 2) How is the interconnectedness of family finances set to change in the future? And, what are families going to have to prepare […]
[…] current period return. We do this by developing two new summary statistics – one that measures the dynamic payoff to work and the other that measures the impact of personal taxes and transfers on the dynamic payoff to work – and implement these using simulated data from a sophisticated dynamic model of education and […]
[…] However, tax expenditures—defined as deviations from an agreed benchmark tax system— are widely used in EU Member States, and little is known about their fiscal and distributional impact. This paper quantifies the fiscal and distributional impact of tax expenditures related to public and private contributory pension schemes, affecting both contributions and pension benefits, in […]
[…] work incentives on the other. In this paper we assess changes in tax-benefit policies over the full course of 1992-2018 along three dimensions: equity, efficiency and budgetary impact. We construct counterfactual distributions of disposable incomes under alternative tax benefit systems by means of the arithmetic microsimulation model EUROMOD. We summarize distributional effects of changes […]
We investigate the impact of nine types of adolescent (verbal, physical, indirect) school/domestic bullying on life satisfaction, and two mental health outcomes (emotional symptoms and hyperactivity/inattention) using the Understanding Society dataset during 2009-13. Bullying significantly increases hyperactive, inattentive and emotional symptoms and reduces life satisfaction. Non-domestic bullying has a stronger adverse impact on all […]
[…] data observed within ranges and a method of combining NHS episode cost data with Understanding Society data without exact individual-level matching. This allows us to estimate the impact of differences in personal characteristics and socio-economic status (SES) on cost outcomes. We find that a composite biomarker index approximating allostatic load is a powerful predictor of […]
We analyse the UK policy response to Covid-19 and its impact on household incomes in the UK in April and May 2020, using microsimulation methods. We estimate that households will lose a substantial share of their net income (7% on average). As a proportion of income, the losses due to the crisis are largest […]
