Microsimulation and policy analysis (2014, background): “…that, depending on the policy change being analysed, ignoring behavioural reactions can lead to misleading estimates of the impact of the policy reform on the income distribution and the macro-economic consequences (Bourguignon and Spadaro, 2006), as is also illustrated by the tax pl nning example.”
The distributional effects of a carbon tax and its impact on fuel poverty: A microsimulation study in the French context (2019, background): “Microsimulation modelling is particularly relevant to the analysis of the distributional impacts of certain public policies and tax reforms (Merz, 1991; Spadaro, 2007; Bourguignon and Spadaro, 2006).”
Automatic Stabilizers and Economic Crisis: US vs. Europe (2012, unknown): “…data information taken from a microsimulation tax-benefit calculator, which - by definition - avoids endogeneity problems by simulating exogenous changes (Bourguignon and Spadaro (2006))8: ∑ i ∆Y Di = (1− τ I) ∑ i ∆Y Mi τ I = 1− ∑ i∆Y D i∑ i∆Y M i = ∑ i ( ∆Y Mi −∆Y D i ) ∑ i∆Y M i = ∑ i∆Gi∑…”
