The ifo Institute and the ifo Center for Macroeconomics and Surveys invite you to participate in the GETTSIM Workshop 2023. The event is organized together with IZA Bonn and the University of Bonn and funded by DFG.

The workshop consists of short courses on GETTSIM including applications and hands-on exercises. In smaller groups participants’ ideas, projects and applications will be discussed and developed. Finally, there will be a chance to get started on jointly implementing specific improvements that came up during the workshop.

•     Applications from teaching
•     Interfaces to other software

We welcome participants who are curious about GETTSIM as well as contributions with more concrete ideas. These could take the form of sketches of your intended application, a research idea, an extended abstract, a paper where you could use a more detailed model of taxes or transfers, etc.. We especially encourage practitioners of tax-benefit modelling and academics at all levels of seniority to apply.

Please submit your participation intention by 2 May 2023. Acceptance decisions will be announced by 19 May 2023. Deadline of registration by 2 June 2023.
