SWITCH: A Tax-Benefit Model for Ireland Linked to Survey and Register Data
This paper describes the development and operation of the SWITCH model, a tax-benefit microsimulation model for Ireland which is linked to survey and register data. SWITCH is based on the EUROMOD platform but has important advantages over the Irish component of EUROMOD, including a “current income” concept, detailed information on benefit receipt in the underlying data and the modelling of non- cash benefits. We discuss the process of creating an input dataset, including reweighting and uprating. We validate the model’s simulation of the income distribution with respect to a range of external sources and suggest future improvements
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.
