Call for Research Proposals

To enhance our understanding of tax-benefit systems in developing countries, the United Nations University is seeking proposals from experienced researchers for detailed economic analysis.

About the Project

This research initiative aims to deepen our comprehension of tax-benefit systems and their implications in developing countries. In this process, we are looking for a researcher who can provide valuable insights into the role of tax-benefit policy in poverty reduction and inequality.

Key Objectives
  • To contribute to a better understanding of modelling behavioural effects within tax-benefit microsimulation models.
  • To push the limits of tax-benefit microsimulation models in areas posing challenges when applying tax-benefit microsimulation in a developing country context.

Researchers are free to base their analysis on the microsimulation model of their choice, including but not restricted to the microsimulation models developed under the SOUTHMOD project.

Requirements and Expectations

Applicants will be expected to:

  • Produce a relevant research paper of sufficient quality to merit publication in the WIDER Working Paper series.
  • Attend a workshop where work in progress will be presented to other contracted researchers and selected international experts.
Proposal Submission

Submission of proposals is done electronically using the appropriate form. There are three forms to select from; one for individuals, another for groups of individuals, and a third one for NGOs.
