Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked World Bank household survey microdata catalog entry and determine whether the data is public or available to non-NG users. Then inspect how the Nigerian tax-benefit model currently handles input data. Done means documenting the access outcome and a clear, feasible path for connecting the survey microdata to support distributional policy analysis.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Connecting this model to household survey microdata will enable us to run distributional analyses of policies. This looks like the best option, not sure if it's public or available to non-NG users.
