Tax-Benefit Microsimulation Modelling: Unlocking Insights for Policy Analysis is an essential guide for policymakers, economists, and researchers interested in the intricate world of tax-benefit microsimulation models. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the methodology, applications, and impact of these models on policy making.
Beginning with a clear explanation of what microsimulation models are and how they work, the book delves into their application in analyzing tax and benefit systems. Readers will learn about the different types of models, the data requirements, and the steps involved in building a model from scratch. The book also covers advanced topics, such as dynamic microsimulation and the integration of behavioral responses into models.
With practical examples and case studies, this book demonstrates how microsimulation models are used to assess the effects of policy changes on households and the economy. It also explores the challenges and limitations of these models, providing readers with a balanced view.
Whether you're a beginner interested in learning about microsimulation modelling or an expert looking for advanced theories and applications, this book has something for everyone.
