Ugo Colombino,Nizamul Islam +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , a micro-econometric model is developed and estimated to simulate household labour supply decisions and the implied economic, fiscal and welfare effects, embedded into a numerical optimization routine that identifies the tax-transfer rule that maximizes a social welfare function.

Sufficient Statistics for Welfare Analysis: A Bridge Between Structural and Reduced-Form Methods
Raj Chetty,Raj Chetty +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general framework that shows how many policy questions can be answered by estimating a small set of sufficient statistics using program-evaluation methods and use this framework to synthesize the modern literature on taxation, social insurance, and behavioral welfare economics.
