The Poverty Implications of Alternative Tax Reforms : Results from a Numerical Application to Pakistan

This paper presents results from four simulations of the impact of potential tax reforms in Pakistan on poverty, shared prosperity, and inequality. The simulations are carried out in the context of a dynamic computational general equilibrium model...
