[eng] This dissertation contributes to this debate by studying redistribution from three different perspectives. The first chapter provides an introduction to the topic. The second and third chapters explore redistribution from a demand and supply approach, respectively. Focusing on the demand side, the second chapter studies how economic uncertainty induced by labor market institutions affects redistribution demand. More specifically, this chapter analyzes the impact of labor market risk associated with temporary contracts on individual preferences for income redistribution. Focusing on the supply side, the third chapter analyzes redistribution from a tax-design perspective. This chapter documents how the decentralization of the Personal Income Tax to the sub-national level affects its redistributive effect. The fourth chapter takes a different perspective and explores regional differences focusing on the costs and benefits associated with the transition to a clean energy production system. This chapter studies the effect of wind farm development on municipal finances and local tax responses and sheds new light to the ongoing debate on the design of mechanisms facilitating the development of renewable energies by mitigating its geographically concentrated costs. The last chapter concludes and provides policy recommendations and avenues for future research.
