There are two main programs which is Family Hope Program (PKH) and Smart Indonesia Program (PIP). Analyzing the distributional impact to both programs is very important to improve program's effectiveness and efficiency. INDOMOD, a tax-benefit microsimulation model for Indonesia, was used in this study to evaluate the distributional effect of these programs to poverty and inequality, using Susenas as the main data. Several results from this study showed that the revocation of the education component of PKH has a more significant impact on poor and vulnerable groups than the revocation of PIP. Further, the revocation of the education component of PKH has a more significant effect on households with children than the revocation of PKH. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10419/309992 Title: UKMOD country report 2022-2029 Authors: van de Ven, Justin; Popova, Daria 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10419/324429 Title: Returns to testosterone across men's earnings distribution in the UK Authors: Eibich, Peter; Kanabar, Ricky; Plum, Alexander Abstract: We study how population variation in testosterone levels impacts male labour market earnings using data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study between 2011 and 2013. We exploit genetic variation between individuals as instrumental variables following a Mendelian Randomization approach to address the endogeneity of testosterone levels. Our findings show that higher testosterone levels have a strong positive impact on earnings. Importantly, these findings are limited to men belonging to the lower quartile of the testosterone distribution and working in higher-paid jobs. We show that differences within rather than between occupations drive these findings, whereas we find limited support for selection into occupation or mechanisms involving individual characteristics, including personality traits and education. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10419/324418 Title: Welfare effects of social care policies Authors: Van de Ven, Justin; Bronka, Patryk; Richiardi, Matteo Abstract: One challenge presented by population aging is how to adjust public support for social care in a way that achieves desired quality of life outcomes without compromising budget sustainability. This study uses best-practice methods of economic analysis to explore projections for care and related public policy between 2020 and 2070 in the United Kingdom (UK). The UK is an interesting case study, as diverse social care provisions are adopted in the four constituent countries. Projections indicate that the number of people in need of care will approximately double over the prospective half century, with informal carers playing a key role in meeting the growing burden. Policy counterfactuals contrast the budgetary implications of closing the social care gap, particularly in England and Northern Ireland, and of easing poverty among informal carers 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
