Inequality, mobility and income distribution comparisons

Article Abstract:

An analytical framework can be used to assess the relationship that exists between cross-sectional and lifetime income distribution among countries. The model uses a simulated cohort of individuals in order to obtain an accurate cross-sectional age and income distribution data. Results did not support the assumption that cross-sectional comparisons are efficient indicators of lifetime inequality differences. It was also established that the value of cross-sectional inequality tends to be lower than lifetime inequality if evaluated in relation with income mobility.

Carbon taxation, prices and inequality in Australia

Article Abstract:

Australia is imposing a carbon tax to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to a more manageable level. In particular, the tax aims to reduce the emissions levels by 2005 by as much as 20% from the 1988 levels. A study shows that the order of magnitude of the tax is less than that calculated by a previous group of researchers. Moreover, the distributional implications of the tax are less adverse than previously believed. To compensate for the regressivity of the tax without decreasing total revenue, an adjustment in transfer payments is necessary.

Some implications of changing the tax basis for pension funds

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the implications of Australia's adoption of a revised taxation treatment as compared with most Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development nations' implementation of the traditional taxation treatment for occupational pension funds. Results indicate significant differences in the net value of the benefits received by individuals and the taxation revenue received by the government.
