abstract: 'In recent decades income inequality has increased in many developed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries but the role of tax and transfer reforms is often poorly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
understood. We propose a new method allowing for the decomposition of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
historical changes in income distribution and redistribution measures
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
into: (i) the immediate effect of tax-transfer policy reforms in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
absence of behavioral responses; (ii) the effect of labor supply
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
responses induced by these reforms; and (iii) a third component allowing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
us to explore the effect of changes in the distribution of a wide range
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of determinants, including the effect of employment changes not induced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by policy reforms. The application of the decomposition to Australia
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reveals that the direct effect of tax-transfer policy reforms accounts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for half of the observed increase in income inequality between 1999 and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008, while the increased dispersion of wages and capital incomes also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
played an important role.'
