The 2009 LIS Summer Workshop will be held in Walferdange
- University of Luxembourg
Campus -
from July 5 to July 11
(with arrival on July 5 and departure on July 12)
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 over 160 large
microdata sets that contain comprehensive measures of income,
employment and household characteristics for 30 industrialized
countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland,
Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Romania, Russia, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Also,
in 2009, LIS will add datasets from five Latin American countries for
the first time (Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Peru and Uruguay); these
datasets will be ready for use by the July workshop.
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).
In addition, the winner of the annual Aldi
Hagenaars Memorial Award will present his/her paper, as will the
first recipient of the World
Bank/LIS Gender Research Award.
