Combining theoretical and practical aspects of policy analysis,
this book evaluates actual and proposed policy reforms to income
tax and transfer systems, using a behavioural tax microsimulation
model. It highlights how these models allow for the full details of
tax systems and the considerable population heterogeneity that is
found in practice. John Creedy and Penny Mok look at how such
models can be used to obtain summary measures that are relevant in
tax debates. These include elasticities of labour supply and
measures of the welfare effects of tax changes, in terms of excess
burdens. Chapters further examine how models can be used to search
systematically, across a range of policy changes, for
revenue-neutral reforms which result in an improvement, in terms of
an explicit evaluation function. This will be a timely read for
students of public finance, welfare and labour economics. The
careful attention paid to metrics used in policy evaluations will
also make this a useful book for researchers and policy advisors
concerned with income taxation, social transfers, inequality and
poverty measurement.
