The 2010 LIS Annual Summer Workshop will be held in Walferdange
- University of Luxembourg
Campus -
from June 27 to July 3
(with arrival on June

The
Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Summer Workshop is a one-week workshop
designed to introduce researchers in the social sciences to
comparative research in income distribution, employment and social
policy using the LIS database. LIS welcomes applications from
researchers with varying levels of knowledge and experience. The
language of instruction is English.
The
Luxembourg Income Study has made comparable nearly 200 microdata sets
that contain comprehensive measures of income, employment and
household characteristics for nearly 40 countries. The countries
include: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Guatemala, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico,
the Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Poland, Romania, Russia, the Slovak
Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United
Kingdom, the United States, and Uruguay.
By
the end of the workshop, attendees will be fully trained to use the
database independently. Workshop faculty includes the LIS directors,
Janet Gornick and Markus Jäntti, the LIS
staff and guest lecturers.
The
workshop format includes a mix of lectures on comparative research,
laboratory sessions and individual one-on-one advisory sessions.
Attendees will also be introduced to the new Luxembourg Wealth Study
(LWS).
