The last day of the UKMOD course is aimed at participants with prior knowledge of UKMOD (e.g. those who have attended the first 2 days of the training either on this occasion or on any previous UKMOD course, or for people who have followed the online course materials themselves in their own time, and are comfortable using UKMOD). The following topics will be covered:
* Universal Credit implementation in UKMOD
* benefit take-up adjustment and transition from the legacy benefits to Universal Credit
* forecasting/projecting policy systems
* calculating work incentives with the Marginal Effective Tax Rates (MTR) add-on
* creating your own hypothetical households data to analyse with UKMOD: the Hypothetical Households Tool (HHOT)
The course combines lectures with hands-on exercises to test and improve the participants’ understanding of the model.
