As the national tax revenue decreases due to the aging society and the declining population, it is required to come up with effective policies with a limited budget.For that purpose, it is necessary to accurately measure the effect of the policy, but until now, it has been difficult for researchers to access corporate information, and it has been required to solve this problem.
