Data for: A method for decomposing the impact of reforms on the long-run income distribution, with an application to universal credit

This is the code used in Brewer, Joyce, Waters, and Woods, "A method for decomposing the impact of reforms on the long-run income distribution, with an application to universal credit". Please see "ReplicationMendeley.txt" for further information. This paper uses Special Licence Understanding Society and British Household Panel Survey data, available from the UK Data Service. Specifically, the following study numbers are required: -6931 -6666 -7248 -6027 -6136 Because these data are special licence, they have not been deposited in Mendeley. The authors are able to provide information on how the data can be accessed by other researchers. These calculations also require TAXBEN, the IFS tax and benefit microsimulation model. Since that is proprietary, it has not been deposited in Mendeley. However, the authors will seek to supply an an output file from TAXBEN simulations if a researcher has access to all five datasets listed above, conditional on the UKDS and Understanding Society team being satisfied that doing so is consistent with maintaining data confidentiality.

本代码适配Brewer、Joyce、Waters与Woods合著的论文《一种分解改革对长期收入分配影响的方法——以全民信贷（Universal Credit）为例》。请查阅"ReplicationMendeley.txt"文件以获取更多相关信息。本研究使用特殊许可版的"理解社会"（Understanding Society）与英国家庭追踪调查（British Household Panel Survey）数据，此类数据可通过英国数据服务中心（UK Data Service）获取。具体所需的研究编号如下：-6931、-6666、-7248、-6027、-6136。鉴于此类数据采用特殊许可协议，未上传至Mendeley平台。作者可向其他研究者提供该数据的获取途径相关信息。本计算还需用到IFS税收与福利微观模拟模型TAXBEN。由于该模型属于专有软件，未上传至Mendeley平台。但若研究者已获取上述全部五个数据集，且英国数据服务中心与"理解社会"团队确认此举符合数据保密要求，作者将为其提供TAXBEN模拟生成的输出文件。
