This extended view of tax–benefit systems offers a more comprehensive understanding of redistribution mechanisms within countries and facilitates cross-country comparisons. As a first step, our analysis identifies households as either net contributors or net beneficiaries based on this extended income concept. Our results show that there is considerable variability in net fiscal contributions across households, influenced by factors such as income level, household composition and age. We find that extending the income concept reduces the number of net contributor households, as the monetary effect of in-kind benefits outweighs the effect of consumption taxes paid. However, the number of net contributor households varies considerably across EU Member States. In a second step, we take a life-cycle perspective and estimate the contribution of each age cohort in each EU Member State. Our results show that individuals contribute very differently over the life cycle across Member States and that these contributions are highly correlated with individuals' retirement decisions. We show that corporatist welfare state regimes in particular tend to have low and even negative life-cycle contributions compared to universal welfare state systems and the Baltic insurance systems, with early retirement playing a crucial role in shaping these differences.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 4","pages":"1607-1636"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145228176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Do people experience different levels of happiness for the same activities based on their income levels? This study offers a comprehensive examination of these questions, drawing from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). Our findings reveal that income shapes individuals' allocation of time, but “money does not buy happier time.” We find evidence that high-income women and in general high-income people during weekends and holidays tend to allocate more time in activities that lead to higher experiential well-being. Yet, interestingly, we find that the subjective well-being derived by rich people from the activities they perform more frequently is substantially lower than the one experienced by an average US resident when performing the same activities. Happiness associated with the use of time seems to be in the eyes of the beholder, as we find that subjective happiness differences between rich and poor are explained by different preferences over similar activities (time use preference channel) rather than a different allocation of time (activity-composition channel).</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 4","pages":"1593-1606"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.70008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145228137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we examine high-visibility consumption commodities and narrower spatial reference groups to capture external habits among urban households. Our empirical findings reveal evidence of habit formation in consumption behaviors among urban households in Taiwan. We observe the durability of some expenditure items for internal habits. Additionally, household consumption is influenced by the consumption of reference groups, indicating external habits. This influence is particularly pronounced within highly visible commodities, such as alcoholic beverages, tobacco, beauty, apparel, and recreation and culture. Most of these are more prominent for households facing narrower spatial reference groups, with tobacco being especially notable, highlighting potential public health concerns associated with localized social interactions. Furthermore, the effect of external habits on recreation and culture appears across wider spatial contexts, suggesting a more generalized external influence. These findings carry important implications for public health and the labor market, warranting attention from policymakers.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 4","pages":"1567-1592"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145228131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines how trust, both as an individual disposition and as a culturally inherited norm, relates to the economic integration of immigrants in Europe, measured by household income. Using European Social Survey data from 2002 to 2022, we analyze first- and second-generation immigrants, incorporating both individual trust levels and average trust in countries of origin through an epidemiological approach. We find that trust is positively associated with income for both groups, but its source matters: for first-generation immigrants, country-of-origin trust is a stronger predictor, while for the second generation, individual trust dominates. Origin-based trust appears to facilitate labor market navigation for first-generation immigrants, though its influence diminishes over time. In contrast, second-generation immigrants benefit more from institutional familiarity and culturally embedded trust. Given the stability of social trust and its limited responsiveness to policy, the results point to a need for targeted integration strategies for immigrants from low-trust backgrounds.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 4","pages":"1496-1513"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145228049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on original qualitative surveys in Brazil, Côte d'Ivoire, Turkey, and Vietnam, this paper reveals a persistent disconnect between middle-class expectations and government policy in the core domains of the social contract: public services, social protection, and participation. On the demand side, middle-class respondents report frustration with poor service provision—particularly in education, health, and security—and with tax systems, they perceive as burdensome yet unreciprocated. On the supply side, policymakers emphasize market access and credit expansion while retreating from broad-based public support, a pattern we term “laissez-faire paternalism.” Despite their dissatisfaction, middle-class citizens often remain politically disengaged due to fragmentation and institutional barriers, producing a form of “truncated citizenship” in which they enjoy consumption rights but lack political influence. These findings challenge the assumption that middle-class growth naturally drives reform. Instead, we find a fragmented and politically instrumentalized group with limited capacity to press for change. By contrasting demand- and supply-side perceptions, the paper uncovers institutional blind spots and warns of rising frustration and instability if governance does not become more inclusive and responsive.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 4","pages":"1463-1478"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.70000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145228243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
