Government Revenue and Development
Government Revenue and Development
The Government Revenue and Development Estimations (the GRADE) provides a precise and realistic model of the relationship between government revenue, access to health determinants (clean water, sanitation, education and healthcare) and survival.
These health determinants are fundamental economic and social rights and targets of the Sustainable Development Goals.
For example, if a country is losing revenue as a result of tax abuse, the GRADE can be used to estimate the increased access to health determinants if there was an increase in government revenue equivalent to those loses.
The GRADE can also provide realistic estimations of the impact of large tax payers to public finances.
