The aim of this project is to develop a new tool for simulating the French socio-fiscal system based on the analysis of administrative data. The project is of great democratic significance, as it enables reform proposals put forward by civil society as a whole to be examined from a scientific perspective.
The project builds on previous versions of the TAXIPP model developed at the IPP and involves the development of a new version of the model that utilises administrative data. These administrative data – access to which is restricted and highly secure – cover tax and social security data, and provide much more precise information on household characteristics than the survey data usually employed. The project aims to carry out a statistical matching of these databases (using data fusion methods) in order to reproduce a consistent distribution of the characteristics of the French population.
