Optimal Taxation: The Design of Child Related Cash- and In-Kind-Benefits

Furthermore, we compare the welfare function conditional on the presence and age of children and asses ...

Since the returns to investments in (country-specific) human capital increase with the duration ...

Naturalisation is assumed to act as a signal of the employee’s commitment to the host country and may thus increase employers’ likelihood ...
