The prevailing consensus in statistical literature is that multiple imputation is generally the most suitable method for addressing missing data in statistical analyses, whereas a complete case analysis is deemed appropriate only when the rate of missingness is negligible or when the missingness...

Indirect taxes such as value-added tax (VAT) and environmental levies play a growing role in fiscal and distributional policy in Switzerland, yet existing microsimulation tools lack the consumption information required to analyse their incidence. This paper closes this gap by extending SWISSMOD...

Consumption taxes are a crucial revenue source for EU Member States, yet they also potentially have non-negligible impact on income distribution. The EU's tax-benefit microsimulation model, EUROMOD, has recently been extended to simulate consumption taxes (CT) across all 27 EU countries allowing...

We propose an observation-driven dynamic common factor model for missing value imputation in high-dimensional panel data. The model exploits both serial and cross-sectional information in the data and can easily cope with time-variation in conditional means and variances, as well as with either...
