Holly Sutherland addressed a high level EU conference in Brussels this week on common tools for monitoring and analysing tax and benefit systems in Europe.
Holly, who heads up ISER’s EUROMOD project addressed the conference, Coordination in the social field in the context of Europe 2020: looking back and building the future this week. As well as talking about the need for common analytical tools, Holly also outlined the benefits of EUROMOD, a sophisticated computer-based tax-benefit microsimulation model for the European Union (EU) that enables researchers and policy analysts to calculate, in a comparable manner, the effects of taxes and benefits on household incomes and work incentives for the population of each country and for the EU as a whole.
The conference was organised by the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the European Commission.
