Description

The citations page is missing a few recent UK citations:

  1. Tax Policy Associates (Dan Neidle)What would a land value tax actually do? (12 Jul 2026). Explicitly cites PolicyEngine's LVT work: "PolicyEngine has produced a much better model than ours for examining the distributional consequences across households: it is a proper microsimulation model." Accompanied Neidle's Sunday Times piece on LVT and Andy Burnham.

  2. GB NewsAndy Burnham property-tax reform coverage (Jul 2026). Cites PolicyEngine's land value tax modelling.

  3. New Economics FoundationA modern system for fair rents (May 2026). Acknowledges PolicyEngine UK support on the affordability analysis.

Happy to open a PR adding these if useful.
