Public policies, poverty and inequality: a discussion based on tax-benefit microsimulation modelsEUROMOD

How does the government know what public policies are going to work? How to know which households will benefit from changes in taxes and benefits? Governments around the world need tools to understand the effect that their policies have on people’s welfare.

Researchers at Universidad Externado de Colombia and the University of Essex have developed a new model of taxes and benefits to contribute to the discussion of Colombian public policies and their effect on poverty and inequality.
