Abstract:
The similar historical and cultural background of the Visegrad countries makes them well suited for comparing government policies. In this paper, I investigate whether family tax allowances have had an impact on families' risk of poverty. I examine single-parent and two-earner households separately. The simplest model showed that tax allowances had an impact on poverty rates, but the results are not all positive. However, when time is taken as a trend variable, only Czech two-earner families show a poverty-reducing effect of family tax allowances.
