Welfare conditionality in OECD countries and in Latin America: A comparative perspective
Cash benefit programs have increasingly emphasized conditionality in recent decades. Linking benefits to certain behavioral requirements has become a prominent feature of reforms of unemployment benefits (UBs) and related out-of-work benefits in high-income Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, but it has also been a defining feature of conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs in many emerging economies. This is…
Reducing child poverty in the European Union: The Role of Child Benefits
Mechanics of replacing benefit systems with a basic income: Comparative results from a microsimulation approach
Tax Policy and Income Inequality in the United States, 1979–2007
This paper assesses the effects of U.S. tax policy reforms on inequality over around three decades, from 1979 to 2007. It applies a new method for decomposing changes in government redistribution into (1) a direct policy effect resulting from policy changes and (2) the effects of changing market incomes. Over the period as a whole, the tax policy changes increased income inequality by pushing up the income share of high‐income earners (the top 20…
Minimum-Income Benefits in OECD Countries
Activation and employment support policies in OECD countries. An overview of current approaches
This note examines the balance of activation strategies in OECD countries, where this type of policy approach has a long tradition. Countries share the objective of strengthening employment and reducing benefit dependency and vulnerability among the working-age population, but the balance of policy measures differs widely. While debates on the effectiveness of active labour market policies have tended to focus on individual policy measures, this …

Minimum-Income Benefits in OECD Countries: Policy Design, Effectiveness and Challenges
Welfare Reform in European Countries: A Microsimulation Analysis
This article compares the effects of increasing traditional welfare to introducing in-work benefits in the 15 (pre-enlargement) countries of the European Union. We use a labour supply model encompassing responses to taxes and transfers along both the intensive and extensive margins, and the EUROMOD microsimulation model to estimate current marginal and participation tax rates. We quantify the equity-efficiency trade-off for a range of elasticity …
