Cur Síos

The purpose of the ESRI tax-benefit model SWITCH is to inform policy debate and policy choices using nationally representative data. SWITCH uses detailed data on the incomes and other tax and welfare relevant characteristics of the SILC RMF. SWITCH simulates how households are affected by the rules of the current system, and by proposed reforms.

Clúdach

The SWITCH model is based primarily on data from the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC). The SWITCH model is used for policy research by five government departments (Social Protection, PER, Finance, Health, Children and Youth Affairs) and by the ESRI. Outputs from the SWITCH research programme include independent policy research reports and papers by the ESRI team, and both in-house and public domain analyses of policy issues by Departmental officials. SWITCH outputs are also used for budget planning.
