Technical Papers

Technical papers contain the results/conclusions from the different components of the research programme. Some technical papers are derived from the information contained in the background papers of the project while others are developments of materials published elsewhere. Technical papers cover:

·        documentation of classification criteria, e.g., mappings of Income and Expenditure Survey (IES) categories to SAM categories;

·        documentation of procedures, e.g., conversion of IES data from fixed width ASCII to STATA files;

·        details of techniques used by the project, e.g., CGE models.

Final versions can be downloaded. Forthcoming papers are listed.
