Working Paper
The role of tax–benefit systems in protecting household incomes in Latin America during the COVID-19 pandemicThe COVID-19 pandemic drastically affected household incomes around the world. In developed economies, pre-pandemic tax–benefit policies and emergency transfers mitigated to a large extent the negative income shock. However, less is known about the...
