Abstract: The objective of this paper is to introduce a combination of a macro model and a poverty module and then demonstrate how to quantify the effects of combinations of macro and redistribution policies on the numbers below the poverty line and their net real income, taking an increased growth of exports in combination with lower tax rates as an example. This paper builds on the experience gained in macro model projects in and for Curaçao, Indonesia, Kenya, EU15, Suriname, the Netherlands, EU15, Poland and Ethiopia. We present the macroabc model ‘’Curalyse’’ with the poverty module ‘’Antiltax’’ of the small island of Curaçao and MicromacroSim Kenya as an example. For shareware model-files and multi-media slideshows explaining some of these macroabc models and the poverty module MicromacroSim we refer you to www.micromacroconsultants.com This paper can also be found on this webpage.
