Abstract
We study the redistributive effects of taxes and other
welfare state instruments in Switzerland.
Measuring these effects is not an easy task as the necessary data is spread across numerous institutions and also due to the federal organization of the country, i.e.
Cantons and municipalities have leeway in the design of
taxes and means-tested benefits. However, the increasing availability of administrative data and their linkage allows for an increasingly detailed examination of the
role of the welfare state.
