TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an introduction to the basic analytics of discrete hours labour supply modelling, including model specification, maximum likelihood estimation and microsimulation of tax reforms, and an empirical example of a hypothetical policy change to the social security system is given to illustrate the role of discrete-hours micro-simulation in the analysis of tax and transfer policy changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured individuals' attitudes to inequality aversion using survey data, based on the leaky-bucket experiment, for several groups of students in Australia and Israel.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the orders of magnitude of a carbon tax required to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in Australia such that the Toronto target is met; this requires a reduction in emissions of 20 per cent of 1988 levels by 2005.

TL;DR: A technical survey of recent developments in behavioural microsimulation can be found in this article, where the authors describe methods by which non-linear budget constraints may be accommodated in estimation, policy simulations and welfare analysis, and discuss how stochastic terms may be factored into the simulation of behavioural responses to a policy shock.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Faustmann multiple rotation model is extended to allow for the maximisation of the net present value of these timber and non-timber benefits, in a large range of cases to infinity.
