TAZMOD 3 |  Tax-benefit policies
Channel: UNU-WIDER
Date: 2019-01-30

In this video, we will look at how tax-benefit policies are constructed. This is the third video in a series of five videos that together form a training course on how to set up and use the tax-benefit microsimulation model for Tanzania, TAZMOD. 

We will define systems, functions, and parameters and explain how they relate to each other. The policy functions Elig, ArithOP, BenCalc, and SchedCalc are covered in detail. At the end of the video we give step-by-step instructions on how to run the model and access the output.

The TAZMOD model is part of a larger research project, SOUTHMOD:
