Using the high-quality administrative data and the rich survey data in the Netherlands, Egbert Jongen has studied the behavioral responses to the tax-benefit system using both structural models and quasi-experimental methods.

Over the past years he has also worked on income inequality, between income groups, by gender, by migration background and over generations.

During his stay he will present recent empirical work on the behavioral effects of selected tax-benefit reforms.

Emanuele Campiglio’s research focuses on the links between climate change, macro-financial systems and sustainability transitions. His current research focuses on the macro-financial implications of low-carbon transitions, with a particular focus on the role of transition-related expectations in shaping investment decisions and policy-making choices. During his visit at ifo, he will mostly work on the impact of carbon pricing initiatives on multi-regional production networks. He hopes to interact with ifo researchers on the political economy of climate policy-making under electoral cycles and on the design of surveys to capture firms’ perceptions concerning the low-carbon transition.
