‘Nothing is certain but death and taxes’ says an old British proverb. Everything in between is rather more complex, not least public policy. Before rolling out complicated programmes for large populations, decision-makers not only need reliable data. They also need to run simulations. At a recent conference in Ireland, three of our PhD fellows presented their research on the latest socio-economic simulations. These include tax benefits for mobile workers, earnings dynamics, and retirement choice modelling. All are relevant to Europe's present crises, and all are summarized in our latest blog and soundcloud. |
