On 16 June 2023, Banca d'Italia hosted the second edition of the Workshop on microsimulation modelling 'Tax and benefit microsimulation in an inflationary environment: applications and methodological issues'.
The papers presented covered the topic of the distributive effects of the inflationary shock, also evaluating the counterbalancing measures taken by the government. Some presentations focused only on one country, others provided a cross-country comparison, and there was a session dedicated to the impact of the energy price rise. Attendees to the Workshop were researchers from other central banks, research institutes and universities (both Italian and European). The opening speech was given by Andrea Brandolini, Deputy Director General for Economics, Statistics and Research at Banca d'Italia.
