Model VAT directly #86

Open MaxGhenis opened 5 years ago

MaxGhenis commented 5 years ago

I'm currently modeling VAT as a function of income, which misses out on heterogeneity within income group and the ability to model different VAT bases. Imputing CEX data to the CPS data will enable more flexible and realistic analysis.

This paper is worth taking a look at if you haven’t already seen it.

Joe Rosenberg, one of the authors, has always been very helpful. There are also advantages to doing it with consumption data. I think Dan Feenberg has thought about that approach.
