Abstract
In this project we develop a big data computational technique to solve optimal policy problems and use this method to perform an analysis of optimal sales taxation. This approach provides for the consideration of a much richer sales tax schedule than current theoretical models allow. These same tools can also be used for a wide array of economic policy research.
