Landman Economics

Economic modelling

Howard Reed, director of Landman Economics, is a specialist in microsimulation models of the tax system and other economic phenomena.

Experience

For several years in the early 2000s Howard was primarily responsible for the Institute for Fiscal Studies's TAXBEN microsimulation model of the UK tax-benefit system.

More recently, at the Institute for Public Policy Research, Howard's work included several pieces of bespoke economic modelling for several ippr projects including:

• empirical analysis of the economic impacts of migration for the report Paying Their Way, published in 2005.
• simulation modelling of population and fertility trends for the report Freedom's Orphans, published in 2006.

Currently Landman Economics is engaged in a major piece of economic modelling work for an ippr project on Red and Green taxes, looking at how to reform the tax system to make it fairer and more effective at realising environmental goals.
