New updated version of UKMOD now available to policy makers and researchers

An updated version of UKMOD – the only tax-benefit microsimulation model for the UK that is entirely open and accessible to policy makers, researchers and the interested public – has been released.

The latest model – a spin-off of the European Commission-funded EUROMOD project and supported by the Nuffield Foundation – can be requested via the online request form here

That same page lists what’s new in version A2.0+ across the model (new 2021-2024 policy systems, including for all constituent nations), data (new input data based on the 2018/19 Family Resources Survey), documentation (a new Country Report documenting tax-benefit simulations for 2018-2024), and software (updated).

This is the third release of UKMOD – there are two releases per year in Autumn and Spring – and the first to include projected policy systems.

UKMOD has been accessed by almost 100 separate users in just over a year since its first release and is now used regularly by organisations in the public sector, in higher education, and by think-tanks and charities.
