About the Workshop |
The IZA Institute of Labor Economics invites you to participate in the GETTSIM Workshop 2024. The workshop will take place at Bonn.
It is generously funded by the DFG. |
|
|
The workshop brings together academics and practitioners of tax-benefit modeling to discuss improvements and applications in research, teaching, and policy consulting. Main focus of the workshop is the German Tax and Transfer Simulator (GETTSIM), a comprehensive open source depiction of the German tax and transfer system. |
|
|
It consists of short courses on GETTSIM including applications and hands-on exercises. In smaller groups, participants’ ideas, projects and applications will be discussed, and developed. Finally, there will be a chance to get started on jointly implementing specific improvements that came up during the workshop. |
|
|
In the morning before the workshop, there will be an optional session where we will assist in getting GETTSIM up and running on your own computer. |
|
Topics covered in the courses and sessions:
- General introduction to GETTSIM
- Ideas, specific improvements, and MSM Development
- Research applications
- Applications in policy consulting
- Applications from teaching
- Interfaces with other software
|
|
|
We welcome participants who are curious about GETTSIM as well as contributions with more concrete ideas. These could take the form of sketches of your intended application, a research idea, an extended abstract, a paper where you could use a more detailed model of taxes or transfers, etc. We especially encourage academics and practitioners of tax-benefit modeling, both at all levels of seniority, to apply. |
|
|
The workshop is designed as a lunch-to-lunch event, starting July 18 at 13:00 and ending July 19 at 13:00. |
