“…It does so using the latest version of SWITCH -the ESRI's tax and benefit microsimulation model -which has been updated so that the sample of households it runs on is representative of the 2020 population post-COVID related job losses. Previous work has shown that the same outcome can be achieved in more normal times without exhausting revenues raised by the tax, through a combination of social welfare increases and tax cuts (Bercholz and Roantree, 2019;Tovar-Reaños and Lynch, 2019;Callan et al, 2009;Healy, 2003;Clinch and Healy, 2000).…”

The mission of the Economic and Social Research Institute is to advance evidencebased policymaking that supports economic sustainability and social progress in Ireland. ESRI researchers apply the highest standards of academic excellence to challenges facing policymakers, focusing on 12 areas of critical importance to 21st Century Ireland. The Institute was founded in 1960 by a group of senior civil servants led by Dr T. K. Whitaker, who identified the need for independent and in-depth research analysis to provide a robust evidence base for policymaking in Ireland. Since then, the Institute has remained committed to independent research and its work is free of any expressed ideology or political position. The Institute publishes all research reaching the appropriate academic standard, irrespective of its findings or who funds the research. The quality of its research output is guaranteed by a rigorous peer review process. ESRI researchers are experts in their fields and are committed to producing work that meets the highest academic standards and practices. The work of the Institute is disseminated widely in books, journal articles and reports. ESRI publications are available to download, free of charge, from its website. Additionally, ESRI staff communicate research findings at regular conferences and seminars. The ESRI is a company limited by guarantee, answerable to its members and governed by a Council, comprising 14 members who represent a cross-section of ESRI members from academia, civil services, state agencies, businesses and civil society. The Institute receives an annual grant-in-aid from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to support the scientific and public interest elements of the Institute's activities; the grant accounted for an average of 30 per cent of the Institute's income over the lifetime of the last Research Strategy. The remaining funding comes from research programmes supported by government departments and agencies, public bodies and competitive research programmes.

“…Although this may reduce the scale of losses relative to those estimated here, it is unlikely to alter the pattern of these losses unless the magnitude of responses also differs significantly by income level or household type. Forthcoming work by researchers at the ESRI (Tovar Reaños and Lynch, 2019) suggests that -at least on the expenditure side -this is unlikely to be the case. They estimate that the pattern of losses from the higher carbon tax as a share of disposable income looks very similar to that shown in Figure 2 even after accounting for changes in demand for these goods.…”
