Euromod

Tax-benefit microsimulation model for the European Union

Collaboration in Micro-simulation area


Euromod is a unique tax-benefits model for Europe. It enables researchers to simulate, in a comparative manner, systems of every single country in the European Union. It is currently managed by a consortium of research centers from each European state member, coordinated by the University of Essex (UK).
CAPP researchers contributed, as Italian correspondents, to build the first pioneering version of the model, financed by European research funds. In the following years, CAPP researchers took part to a number of European research projects aimed to further developments of Euromod. More recently, they spent a visiting period at Essex University to work with the model.
