En este trabajo se analizan los efectos de la Reforma del Impuesto sobre la renta efectuada en España en 1999 sobre la oferta de trabajo de las unidades familiares. Partiendo de la estimació n de una ecuación de oferta laboral de los... more
TARKI Social Research Institute was awarded a contract by the European Commission to prepare a feasibility study on “Monitoring pension developments through micro socioeconomic instruments based on individual data sources”. From the onset... more
Microscopic traffic simulation models are considered to be valuable and powerful tools for analyzing traffic operations in a wide range of planning and modeling tasks. However, modeling large-scale urban traffic networks is particularly... more
Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010 methodology for freeway operations contain procedures for calculating traffic performance measures both for undersaturated and oversaturated flow conditions. However, one of the limitations regarding... more
The accuracy of the micro-simulation modelʼs generated vehicle activity data used in the emissions modelling depends on how the dynamic behaviours of vehicles are being represented in the model. The dynamic behaviour of every single... more
Dans cette étude, nous utilisons les tables de mortalité par diplôme récemment publiées par Blanpain (2016b) pour améliorer de façon notable la projection de la mortalité différentielle présente dans le modèle Destinie 2, qui ne... more
Agent-Based Models (ABMs) collectively represent an individual modeling method that, along with two related approaches, Microsimulation (MSM) and Cellular Automata (CA, also known as Artificial Neural Networks or ANN), has received... more
BACKGROUND Pressures to keep immigration rates at relatively high levels are likely to persist in most developed countries. At the same time, immigrant cohorts are becoming more and more diverse, leading host societies to become... more
Cette thèse s’intéresse à la question de la précarité énergétique en France. De nature empirique, elle a pour principale motivation de confronter les idées aux données afin d’apporter des éléments d’aide à la décision pour les acteurs... more
Using two linked simulation models, we examine the public expenditure costs and distributional effects of potential reforms to long-term care funding in the UK. Changes to the means tests for user contributions to care costs are compared... more
Redistribution by the State in Austria In Austria, the available potential of redistribution by the state is of a scale similar to that in the Scandinavian countries, Belgium, France and Italy. In 2010, the overall tax to GDP ratio stood... more
For households, taxing carbon raises the cost of the energy they use to heat their home and to travel. This paper studies the distributional impacts of the recently introduced French carbon tax and the design of compensation measures.... more
The economic crisis affecting Cyprus is likely to have considerable impact on the income distribution. Our analysis provides an early assessment of the potential distributional shifts. Using microsimulation techniques we take into account... more
BACKGROUND In most developed countries the demographic regime is characterised by low fertility, high immigration, and population ageing. This regime impacts on the size of the labour force population, the ethno-cultural composition, and... more
We present a micro-founded simulation model that formalizes the " ready, willing, and able " framework, originally used to explain historical fertility decline, to the practice of prenatal sex selection. The model generates sex ratio at... more
