This paper describes how the 1994/95 Family Expenditure Survey (FES) is used to produce three of the four datasets that act as microdata input for POLIMOD. Variables used by POLIMOD are defined in terms of the FES datasets which are available through MIMAS, the national computer service run by...

In seeking to understand the factors that lead to non-take-up of means-tested benefits it is important to identify the potential gains from claiming and the possible barriers to making a claim. Generally, the benefit of claiming is considered to be the cash entitlement. The barriers are lack of...

Traditionally, Budget analysis consists of calculation of the "overnight" effects on particular families. Our analysis departs from this by using survey data, representative of the actual population, which allows us to assess the overall distributional effects. We capture the diverse range of...

The differential impact of comparable Basic Income (BI) schemes is examined for two countries by Callan et al (1996). This study uses national tax-benefit microsimulation models for Ireland (SWITCH) and the UK (POLIMOD). It finds that the relative effect of a scheme depends on the way in which...

Micro- level information on both expenditure and income is useful for a wide range of purposes: to conduct investigations into standards of living, for example. It is necessary for the analysis of the combined effects of direct and indirect personal taxes. However, it is unusual to have one data...
