International Journal of Microsimulation celebrates EUROMOD

The new issue of the International Journal of Microsimulation is now available to download.

The editor of the International Journal of Microsimulation (IJM), Gijs Dekkers, and the guest editors, ISER economists Francesco Figari and Iva Valentinova Tasseva, are pleased to announce that the spring special issue of IJM (Volume 6, Issue 1, Spring 2013) has been now published, celebrating the launch of the new release of EUROMOD, the European Union tax-benefit microsimulation model.

For the first time, EUROMOD covers all 27 countries of the European Union and represents a remarkable achievement for the microsimulation research community, being the result of more than 15 years of accumulated expertise.
The papers included in the special issue were presented at the 2nd Microsimulation Research Workshop in October 2012, organized by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (University of Essex) and hosted by the National Research Institute for Labour and Social Protection in Bucharest, Romania. Research findings based for the first time on EUROMOD covering all 27 European Member States are presented. The issue also looks at the importance and implications of choosing a certain input data for microsimulation and at the solutions of different data issues. Finally, analysis on the redistributive policy effects and work incentives is presented based on EUROMOD spin-off models for Russia and Serbia.
