The Activities of CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis was established in 1945. CPB is the acronym for the Dutch name Centraal Planbureau. CPB is an independent economic think tank, funded by the government, and aims to provide independent, impartial economic analysis that is policy relevant and academically up to standard. CPB's main challenge is to contribute to better economic policies, predominantly through applied empirical research. Theory and good intentions alone are not enough to ensure effective and efficient policy. It is important to establish whether or not these policies will really bear fruit. According to a Dutch saying, 'measurement is the key to knowledge'.

We combine the strengths of structural models and natural experiments in an analysis of tax-benefit reforms in the Netherlands. We first estimate structural discrete-choice models for labour supply. Next, we simulate key past reforms and compare the predictions of the structural model with the outcomes of quasi-experimental studies. The structural model predicts the treatment effects well. The structural model then allows us to conduct counterfactual policy analysis. Policies targeted at working mothers with young children generate the largest labour supply responses but generate little additional government revenue. Introducing a flat tax, basic income or joint taxation is not effective.
