2022 UNU-WIDER Winter School

In 2022 UNU-WIDER launched an intensive winter school course on tax policy research. The course, which gathered 27 African researchers from 13 countries, took place in two parts. Part one was a 3-day online Stata and Statistics bootcamp in May-June 2022. Part two was an in-person course for one week, co-hosted with the Department of Economics at Stellenbosch University in South Africa during 11-15 July 2022.
