Abstract
In this paper we introduce UKMOD, a new tax- benefit model for England, Wales, Scot-land, Northern Ireland and the whole of the UK. The model originates and replaces as a stand- alone model the UK component of EUROMOD, the tax- benefit model for the European Union member states, which from 2021 is not updated anymore. We describe the main departures from EUROMOD, discuss some key assumptions including data issues, and provide information on the nowcasting and macro- validation procedure applied.
期刊介绍:
The IJM covers research in all aspects of microsimulation modelling. It publishes high quality contributions making use of microsimulation models to address specific research questions in all scientific areas, as well as methodological and technical issues. IJM concern: the description, validation, benchmarking and replication of microsimulation models; results coming from microsimulation models, in particular policy evaluation and counterfactual analysis; technical or methodological aspect of microsimulation modelling; reviews of models and results, as well as of technical or methodological issues.
