Three new researchers have joined ISER’s EUROMOD project.
Horacio Levy, a frequent visitor from Brazil and a researcher who has previously worked at ISER, rejoins the team as a Research Fellow.
Iva Tasseva and Silvia Avram have also joined the team as Senior Research Officers. Both will be working on the development of EUROMOD.
EUROMOD is a 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.
As well as calculating the effects of actual policies it is also used to evaluate the effects of tax-benefit policy reforms and other changes on poverty, inequality, incentives and government budgets.
