EUROMOD, the tax and benefit microsimulation model for the European Union has released its latest downloadable newsletter, detailing new statistical information now available on the distribution and decomposition of disposable income from all 27 EU Member States for the very first time.
The latest edition of EUROMODNews also features articles on EUROMOD research and projects based at ISER and across Europe, including the Flemish-led project FLEMOSI, and information on forthcoming training courses.
EUROMOD is a tax-benefit microsimulation model for the European Union (EU) that enables researchers and policy analysts to calculate, in a comparable manner, the effects of taxes and benefits on household incomes and work incentives for the population of each country and for the EU as a whole.
As well as calculating the effects of actual policies it is also used to evaluate the effects of tax-benefit policy reforms and other changes on poverty, inequality, incentives and government budgets.
EUROMOD is a unique resource for cross-national research, designed to produce results that are comparable across countries and meaningful when aggregated to the EU level.
EUROMOD is managed, maintained, developed and updated by the Microsimulation Unit, a team of researchers in ISER. This is done in collaboration with national experts.
