IMF Fiscal Policy & Income Inequality policy paper: Evidence from EUROMOD

Drawing on six separate ISER research papers using EUROMOD as well as some additional data provided by ISER researchers, the International Monetary Fund has published a new policy paper on Fiscal Policy and Income Inequality.

The paper explores options for redistributive policies for policy makers to address income inequality within countries.

Professor Holly Sutherland, Director of EUROMOD said:

“I am delighted that the IMF has found EUROMOD-based research so useful for its study on fiscal policy and income inequality.”

Research evidence from EUROMOD includes

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.
