Training and workshops: 7th JRC Fiscal Policy Modelling Workshop
This workshop gathers leading researchers and policy analysts and focuses on the use of economic modelling for fiscal policy analysis. Join leading researchers and policy analysts working on topics closely related to the research agenda of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) Fiscal Policy Analysis Unit.
This year’s workshop covers corporate taxation, macroeconomic modelling with household heterogeneity, and tax-benefit modelling at household level. Contributions in each session will be linked directly to the ongoing policy work and debate. The workshop will take place in hybrid format over two days. All speakers and chairpersons will be present at our site in Seville.
