  • How green are jobs for the energy transition

    Open AccessDaniele Gasparini, Jessie Bakens et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2025References: 8

    Green jobs and skills are often considered essential for the energy transition. This paper critically examines internationally recognized taxonomies of green jobs and skills and compares them with occupations considered crucial for advancing the energy transition. Using O*NET and ESCO in combination with a regional input-output modeling framework for investments in energy technologies in the Netherlands, we analyze the greenness of additional lab…

  • Labour Supply after Inheritances and the Role of Expectations

    Open AccessKarina Doorley, Nico PestelARTICLEOxford Bulletin of Economics and…2020

    This paper examines the effect of inheritances on labour supply, distinguishing between unanticipated and anticipated inheritances. We use household and individual level micro‐data for Germany to investigate the effect of inheritances on a number of labour market outcomes. Women are less likely to work full‐time after an inheritance and their desired and actual hours of work decrease by 1–2 per week, on average. The magnitude of the effect is fou…

  • Marital Sorting, Inequality and the Role of Female Labour Supply: Evidence from East and West Germany

    Open AccessNico PestelARTICLEEconomica2017Cited by: 1References: 34

    This paper examines the effect of marital sorting on earnings inequality, taking into account extensive and intensive margin labour supply choices. Using German microdata, the observed distribution of couples’ earnings is compared to a counterfactual of random matches. In West Germany, marital sorting is found to be disequalizing only after adjusting for labour supply. This means that positive sorting in earnings potential is veiled by low female…

  • Tax Policy and Income Inequality in the United States, 1979–2007

    Open AccessOlivier Bargain, Mathias Dolls et al.ARTICLEEconomic Inquiry2014

    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…

  • Fiscal union in Europe? Redistributive and stabilizing effects of a European tax-benefit system and fiscal equalization mechanism

    Open AccessOlivier Bargain, Mathias Dolls et al.ARTICLEEconomic Policy2013

    The current debt crisis has given rise to a debate concerning deeper fiscal integration in Europe. The view is widespread that moving towards a ‘fiscal union’ would have stabilizing effects in case of macroeconomic shocks. We study the economic effects of introducing two elements of a fiscal union: an EU-wide tax and transfer system and a fiscal equalization mechanism. Using the European tax-benefit calculator EUROMOD, we exploit representative h…
