What is in a label? On neighborhood labeling, stigma and housing prices
Place-based policies that allocate resources to specific areas inadvertently also designate these areas as needing assistance, potentially leading to the development of neighborhood stigma. The common coupling of resource allocation and area designation makes it difficult to measure the stigma effect. However, the Swedish police’s listing of “vulnerable” neighborhoods, initially introduced in 2015, lacked accompanying resources, offering a unique…
Urban segregation and economic inequality in Sweden (1991–2017): A decomposition analysis
This article bridges the gap between inequality and segregation research by introducing a method to decompose income segregation across spatial units, income groups, and income sources, applied to detailed full-population register data for Sweden from 1991 to 2017. Sweden’s sharp rise in income inequality—driven largely by capital income gains among top earners—has coincided with intensifying spatial sorting, especially within cities. We find tha…
On Bunching and Identification of the Taxable Income Elasticity
The elasticity of taxable income is vital when predicting the effect of taxes. Bunching at kinks/notches has been used to estimate this elasticity. We show that when the preference distribution is unrestricted, bunching at a kink or a notch is not informative about the size of the elasticity, and neither is the entire distribution of taxable income. Bunching identifies the taxable income elasticity when the preference distribution is correctly sp…
Rease Employment?
This paper analyzes the extensive-margin labor-supply effects of a Swedish earned income tax credit introduced in 2007. The reform was one of the government's flagship reforms to boost employment, but its actual effects have been widely debated. We exploit the fact that the size of the tax credit is a function of the municipality of residence and income if working, which yields two sources of quasi-experimental variation. The identifying variatio…
