Research direction
Start with the existing validation pages on https://openfisca.uk and review the linked 2020 LSE paper. Add a validation page covering the estimated carbon-tax distributional impact, the comparison with LSE, and methodological differences that may explain divergent results; it is done when all three sections are documented.
