Abstract (De)
Governments use different instruments to redistribute income: besides incomes taxes, different forms of income-contingent subsidies are provided. In this paper, we compare the efficiency of two large redistribution instruments in Germany: childcare subsidies and the income tax. We quantify this comparison in a dynamic discrete choice model that accounts for the endogenous dynamics of mothers’ lifecycle earnings.
