Model
The Government Revenue and Determinants of Health model (GRADE) provides a precise and realistic model of the relationship between government revenue and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The GRADE Model translates the impact of additional revenue into potential SDG progress – for example, to quantify the POSITIVE impact of a large taxpayer or the NEGATIVE impact of tax abuse.
See the API documentation.
