In the United States and many European countries, some of these instruments such as earnings subsidies and minimum wages have recently received an increasing weight in anti-poverty policy, compared to traditional guaranteed income support programs. Yet, at least in some respects, their effects are still relatively little understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our aim is to develop a series of structural models to shed more light on the optimal design of tax-transfer policies for low-income households. Among other aspects, we will study important complementarities between different policies, their differential effects in single and couple households, as well as potential price effects in general equilibrium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Income Transfers is a stand-alone research project (18646) funded by the Anniversary fund (Jubil\u00e4umsfonds) of the Austrian National Bank (OeNB &#8211; \u00d6sterreichische Nationalbank) from 2021 to 2025.
