Michael Fuchs and Tamara Premrov investigated whether the reform 2010/11 which replaced monetary social assistance by minimum income benefit was successful in terms of the facilitated access to the benefit. For the analysis, they used the tax-/benefit microsimulation model EUROMOD/SORESI based on EU-SILC data. The present study complements the existing literature in two ways: first, it offers an insight into the development of the target efficiency of benefits of last resort in Austria. Second, it explores the relevance of different measures embedded in the reform.
