Quantification of a Basic Child Allowance
Period:
01.11.2022 – 30.04.2025
Central to the project are ex ante analyses and quantifications of the
- effects of the introduction of a basic child allowance, in particular with regard to
labor supply, transfer dependency, poverty risks of families and social inequality,
- consequences and interactions of the basic child allowance in the interaction with other state benefits and regulations in the tax-transfer system, as well as
- direct and indirect costs of the basic child allowance.
The analyses are based on the following behavioural microsimulation models:.
- IZAΨMOD of the IZA Institute of Labor Economics,
- the "Tax and Transfer Behavioral Microsimulation Model" of the ifo Institute – Leibniz Institute for Economic Research at the University of Munich, as well as
- ZEW-EviSTA of the ZEW - Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research.
