Uruguay (LATINMOD)
LATINMOD-Uruguay is based on the Uruguayan household survey (Encuesta Continua de Hogares, ECH), released by the national statistics office (INE). The data used is based in the ECH of the years 2014, 2019 and 2020, and the policy systems included are: 2014, 2015, 2019 and 2020. LATINMOD is a regional tax-benefit microsimulation model for six Latin American countries that is being developed in the EUROMOD platform and within a harmonized data base which provides cross-country comparability. LATINMOD – UY simulates direct taxes (personal income tax, and social security contributions), and the main social cash transfers (AFAM-PE, AFAM 15084, TUS).
History:
