Research in this area focuses on the effects of social security and taxation on the labour market and income distribution.
Social security and taxation crucially affect households’ disposable incomes and thereby wellbeing. Changes in social transfers or taxation directly affect income generation and income distribution. Additionally these changes may have various behavioural impacts on, among other things, labour supply. The key premise is to do research that supports decision-making.
We have various projects ongoing on the effects of policy changes in taxation and social transfers.
We have gathered the essential findings from our studies on social security and employment on one page.
