Micro-founded tax policy effects in a heterogeneous-agent macro-model
D'Andria, Diego; DeBacker, Jason; Evans, Richard W.; … - 2019
Microsimulation models are increasingly used to calibrate macro models for tax policy analysis. Yet, their potential remains underexploited, especially in order to represent the non-linearity of the tax and social benefit system and interactions between capital and labour incomes which play a...
