Welcome to GETTSIM’s documentation!

GETTSIM provides a depiction of the German Taxes and Transfers System that will be usable in a wide array of research applications, ranging from highly complex dynamic programming models to extremely detailed microsimulation studies.

GETTSIM is implemented in Python, thereby achieving both user friendliness and flexibility. All features are extensively tested.

The current version is usable and should yield reasonably correct results. Development has focused on correctness until now; improving performance is on our schedule for 2020. Hence, GETTSIM is rather slow at this point in time and the API is subject to change. If you want to use the current version, help in GETTSIM’s development, etc., we invite you to get in touch (ideally by joining our Zulip Chat at https://gettsim.zulipchat.com),
