Some information on the session logistics:
The discussant is always the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. Presenters should use no more than 20 minutes; discussants no more than 5 minutes; the remaining time should be devoted to audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest to follow these guidelines also for (uncommon) sessions with 3 papers in a 2-hour slot, to enable participants to switch sessions. We recommend that discussants avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing their brief remarks on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start the general discussion with audience members. Only registered participants can attend this conference.

Gender Based Taxation and Statistical Discrimination University of Lorraine, France This paper questions how individuals and couples should be taxed when women face wage discrimination in the labor market. When women anticipate being discriminated against in the labor market, it affects their decision to invest in education. Consequently, women, thinking that their return on education will be lower, choose to be less qualified on average. This confirms employers' bias regarding the qualifications of women. I find that when women face wage discrimination, they have more incentive to work on household production compared to their husbands and less in the labor market. I show that the optimal income tax rate depends on a pigouvian term that decreases the marginal tax rate of the discriminated group. This paper aims to provide guidance for tax reform when gender inequalities in home production and the labor market interact.
Understanding Trends in the German Income Distribution: 2001-2019 RWI, Germany We document trends in inequality in earnings and disposable household income for men and women in Germany from 2001 to 2019. We find that males at the lower half of the earnings distribution have lower earnings in 2019 than in 2001. In contrast, female earnings have increased throughout the distribution. Households and the welfare state has cushioned much—but not all—of the income drop at the bottom of the distribution. A reweighting analysis reveals that changes in working hours as well as in the composition of nationalities explain a substantial part of the drop in the 10th earnings and net income percentile for men. Moreover, changes in household structure have led to an increase in disposable incomes throughout the distribution.
Intrahousehold Consumption Inequality over 23 Years: Evidence from Czechia Charles University, Czech Republic Unequal consumption sharing within households is well-documented. However, there is limited evidence on the stability of within-household inequality over time. Moreover, the responsiveness of within-household inequality to the evolution of social norms and public policy remains an open question to a significant extent. We combine a collective household model with consumption survey data spanning 23 years to study the evolution of within-household consumption inequality. Our findings reveal gender inequality within households. We also observe a slight decrease in women's relative resource shares over the considered time period.
