Abstract

Between 1990 and 2010, the Dutch government pursued two successful fiscal adjustments: first, in 1995–2002, through a pure expenditure-based strategy and second, in 2004–2007, through a mixed strategy based on social transfer cuts and tax increases. In order to assess welfare and, in particular, inequality effects involved in each episode, we built a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous-agent capable of exploring the relationship between fiscal policy variables and the endogenous cross-section distribution of income, wealth and welfare.
