Fiscal Heterogeneity and the Dynamics of Post Tax Income Inequality Across the EU
This report narrows its focus to the European Union (EU) to conduct an exploratory analysis of heterogeneity in fiscal redistribution mechanisms and outcomes.
The problem: Do EU member states with similar tax burdens achieve similar redistribution outcomes — or does fiscal structure matter more than size?
Economic analysis: Exploratory analysis of heterogeneity in fiscal redistribution mechanisms across the EU, examining post-tax income inequality and the role of transfer systems.
TL;DR: Two countries can spend the same on welfare and produce very different levels of equality — this project shows why.
