Baker III Institute for Public Policy: <a href="https://www.bakerinstitute.org/research/measuring-lifetime-sales-tax-progressivity-simulation-based-approach/">https://www.bakerinstitute.org/research/measuring-lifetime-sales-tax-progressivity-simulation-based-approach/</a>.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/102788Since the progressivity of the sales tax is difficult to directly measure, this paper introduces an indirect approach combining simulated household income with realizations of consumption behavior from survey data.
