GETTSIM Workshop

The GETTSIM Workshop is a two-day event designed for researchers and practitioners interested in microsimulation modeling. Taking place in Bonn, Germany, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn about the latest advancements in GETTSIM, a tool for simulating tax and benefit systems. Ideal for those who thrive in collaborative environments, participants will engage with experts and peers to enhance their understanding of microsimulation techniques.

During the workshop, attendees will explore various topics, including the development of GETTSIM and its applications in real-world scenarios. Sessions will cover the latest features of GETTSIM, as well as practical applications such as the value of children in Germany and gender role attitudes affecting labor supply. Participants will also have the chance to engage in breakout sessions focused on developing a new interface for GETTSIM, fostering hands-on learning and collaboration.

Graduates of the workshop can pursue roles such as microsimulation modelers, policy analysts, and researchers in various sectors, including government agencies, think tanks, and academic institutions. The skills gained from this workshop are transferable across industries, equipping participants to tackle complex social and economic issues using advanced modeling techniques.
