Objective
This programme of activity will improve the comparability, scope and applicability of tools, methods and data for the measurement of income and the analysis of the effects of policies on inequality, poverty and social inclusion.
It includes three linked projects on:
(a) The distributional effects of non-cash incomes and the implementation of a more comprehensive income definition,
(b) The implications of (and methods to account for) errors in targeting social benefits, tax evasion and measurement error in income data,
(c) Incorporation of the effects of indirect taxes, along with direct taxes and social benefits, in redistribution analysis.
All three projects are designed to improve the degree of comparability of measurement and analysis across countries. Each project will develop methodologies within a cross-national perspective and demonstrate their applicability to a wide range of research questions in diverse scientific fields. The resulting data and method enhancements will be made generally accessible and re-useable by implementing them within EUROMOD the EU tax-benefit model, an existing research infrastructure used for policy analysis and evaluation.
The proposal most closely addresses topic 8.2.2 (Promotion and support for comparative research, methodologies and data generation) while the substantive issues it relates to are also relevant to topics 2.2.2 (Inequalities in society and their consequences) and 2.2.1 (Societal trends, quality of life and public policies).
