A 29-frame beamer (metropolis) talk adapting the Chicago template to the main-branch VAT microsimulation paper: - PolicyEngine branding: light-teal header banner + deep-teal text matching the poster, official transparent PE mark in every header corner, centered title slide with the teal wordmark, light-teal section dividers with a slim step-progress bar. - Paper-section order: motivation (ONS/HMRC/OBR figures) -> data & calibration -> static costing -> bunching/dominated region -> behavioural -> conclusion, plus appendix backup slides with working hyperlink nav buttons. - Key equations on the data, bunching, dominated-region and behavioural slides. - Math-safe \pounds everywhere (no stray dollar signs); self-contained author-year citations; figures under Figures/, logos under logo/. - Closing slide with QR to the project site and contact icons. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Sync onto the new main (PRs #19, #20 merged) and reflect Section 7's value-added recast of the behavioural simulator. - New slide "The firm's problem: VAT on value added (formulation A)": pi(y)=(1-delta)(1-tau f(y))y - C(y;n,e), with delta the deductible-input share (value added (1-delta)y), C the own-factor cost (inputs already netted, so reading C as total cost would double-count), optimum n[(1-delta)(1-tau)]^e, and the new formulation_a_optima figure (delta in {0,0.4,0.8} across notch and taper). - Behavioural slide: note the simulator is a value-added base (formulation A). The e-sensitivity numbers (GBP508m->GBP292m, etc.) are unchanged. - Limitations: the "turnover-tax approximation" bullet now states the simulator taxes value added with a parametric delta (ONS Supply-Use to come), still abstracting from voluntary registration. Rebuilt slides.pdf (30 pages). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

All numbers extracted directly from the paper sections (verified by parallel review): £17,000 notch, £85k→£90k anchor (£175m vs HMRC £185m), reform menu (−£508m/−£336m/−£343m/−£171m), dominated region a=£21,250, bunching b=0.060 / E=8,712 with the placebo collapse, and the behavioural e-sweep {0.05, 0.17, 0.32}.
