About
UGAMOD – simulating tax and benefit policies for development in Uganda
UGAMOD, the tax-benefit microsimulation model for Uganda, is a highly versatile yet easy to use tool for policy makers and researchers alike. It allows the user to analyse and compare the effects of different benefit policy scenarios on poverty, inequality, and government revenues. The model applies user-defined tax and benefit policy rules to micro-data on individuals and households and calculates the effects of these rules on household income.
