Beyond GDP : the case for a real-time barometer of economic activity in South Africa

Fourie, Helanya; Fourie, Johan - 2026

This paper makes the case for measuring economic activity in real time in a middle-income setting using indicators alternative to the standard System of National Accounts measure of gross domestic product (GDP). GDP remains indispensable, yet its limits as a welfare proxy are amplified where...

Imputing household expenditure for indirect tax simulation : extending SWISSMOD using statistical matching

Anderl, Robin; Kirn, Tanja; Oschwald, Patrick - 2026

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...

Sufficient statistics for economic mobility : when do measures agree?

McGee, Rory - 2026

Empirical studies of intergenerational mobility use different statistics - elasticities, rank-rank slopes, transition matrices, axiomatic indices - that sometimes produce conflicting conclusions.
