On 12-13 November 2015 the Public Economics Working Group of Economic Research Southern Africa (ERSA) in partnership with the South African Revenue Service intends to host an empirically practical, hands-on micro-simulation model workshop with participants mainly from national and provincial government departments, as well as universities. The workshop is a follow-up on the successful 2013 workshop. However, participants need not have attended the 2013 workshop to be able to participate in the upcoming workshop.
