Carsten Schröder, Ralf Möller, Carsten Lutz

this paper, it is obvious that reasoning would be incomplete if the TAX module was not loaded into the Konwerk system. Currently, it is still not clear whether the inference services of Bhibs

Combining Spatial and Terminological Reasoning (1994)

Volker Haarslev, Ralf Möller, Carsten Schröder

The paper presents a method for terminological reasoning about spatial objects on the basis of a KL-ONE-like framework (LOOM). We apply this method to the domain of deductive geographic information...

Family-Type Subsistence Incomes

Die Riester-Förderung soll dazu beitragen, dass häufiger und mehr für die Altersvorsorge gespart wird. Der Einfluss der Riester-Förderung auf die Sparneigung von Haushalten mit niedrigem...

Incomes and inequality in the long run: the case of German elderly

Bönke, Timm, Schröder, Carsten, Schulte, Katharina

We employ German Sample Survey Income data to examine income inequality and the financial situation of elderly citizens for the period from 1978 to 2003, focussing on differences between retired and...

Properties of Equivalence Scales in Different Countries

Christos Koulovatianos, Carsten Schröder, Ulrich Schmidt

Recent studies in high-income industrialized countries have shown that equivalence scales are income-dependent. We investigate whether this dependence also holds in poorer, services oriented...

Non-Market Time and Household Well-Being

Christos Koulovatianos, Carsten Schröder, Ulrich Schmidt

A distinguishing feature among households is whether adult members work or not, since the employment status a?ects a household’s available time for home activities. Using a survey method in two...

Bestimmung ökonomischer Einkommen und effektiver Einkommensteuerbelastungen mit der Faktisch Anonymisierten Lohn- und Einkommensteuerstatistik

Timm Bönke, Frank Neher, Carsten Schröder

For a representative sample of German taxpayers, atypical slopes of Engel curves imply fis-cal incomes to be a biased measure of taxpayers’ abilities to consume. Yet, we show that, in general, the...

Equivalence scales reconsidered – an empirical investigation

Timm Bönke, Carsten Schröder

Households can differ in size and needs. A reliable assessment of inequality in living standards, therefore, necessitates the conversion of the original heterogeneous into an artificial...

Confronting the Robinson Crusoe paradigm with household-size heterogeneity

Christos Koulovatianos, Carsten Schröder, Ulrich Schmidt

Modern macroeconomics empirically addresses economy-wide incentives behind economic actions by using insights from the way a single representative household would behave. This analytical approach...

The German spatial poverty divide: poorly endowed or bad luck?

Timm Bönke, Carsten Schröder

We study inter-temporal changes in poverty for Germany from year 1978 to 2003, and we employ the bootstrap method to test for statistical significance of results. All results are decomposed by...
