TAZMOD 1 | A short introduction to TAZMOD
Channel: UNU-WIDER
Date: 2019-01-30

In this video, we describe the TAZMOD model and introduce the SOUTHMOD research project. This is the first 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 start by briefly explaining what microsimulation is and what it can be used for. The session also explains the data and policies that are included in the current version of the TAZMOD model v.1.0, for what purpose the model can be used, and how it works.  Finally, we look at the key parts of the user interface and give an overview of what is covered in the rest of the training course. We also give a walkthrough of the model.

The TAZMOD model is part of a larger research project, SOUTHMOD: https://www.wider.unu.edu/SOUTHMOD
