This is a transnational study of household income. The Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) database project consists of comparable microdata on the composition of households and the structure of their incomes for 27 industrialized economies as of July 1997. It has also added labor force survey data for 14 nations under another subtitle, the Luxembourg Employment Study (LES). Over the past ten years, the LIS project has demonstrated its feasibility and usefulness as an internationally sponsored and researcher-lead database infrastructure project. It provides the means for researchers to make accurate cross-national comparisons of economic status for several nations on a simultaneous basis, addressing such questions as whether inequality is currently increasing in the most advanced, industrial nations. In particular, it is used extensively to compare levels of relative and absolute poverty across countries and over time. This award provides core support for the Luxembourg Income Study for a period of three years. During that time there will be several improvements in database management (more sophisticated electronic access system, direct availability of some data to qualified users, better on-line documentation, fourth wave of data for the mid-1990s, new surveys of the labor force); in research (inequality, poverty, and gender studies); in training (annual LIS workshops in the United States, in Europe and elsewhere); in setting new international standards for income distribution statistics; in developing purchasing power parities for income distribution studies; and in providing US users with more direct access to the other nations' surveys. The Luxembourg Income Study contributes to cross-national comparative research in economics, sociology, and the social sciences more generally. It strengthens graduate education and training in these fields, and achieves advances in database management. The research made possible by the LIS directly addresses central themes of the Human Capital Init iative, such as overcoming poverty and deprivation, fostering successful families, reducing disadvantage in a diverse society, educating for the future, and employing a productive workforce. Moreover, it is a prototype for scientific facilities in the social sciences including interdisciplinary, cross-national cooperative ventures that strengthen the data infrastructure and promote research that is liable to have important public policy implications.

这是一项关于家庭收入的跨国研究。 卢森堡收入研究数据库项目包括截至1997年7月27个工业化经济体家庭组成及其收入结构的可比微观数据。它还在另一个副标题卢森堡就业研究（LES）下增加了14个国家的劳动力调查数据。在过去十年中，地雷影响调查项目作为一个国际赞助和研究人员领导的数据库基础设施项目，已证明其可行性和有用性。 它为研究人员提供了同时对几个国家的经济状况进行准确的跨国比较的手段，解决了诸如最先进的工业国家目前的不平等是否正在加剧等问题。 特别是，它被广泛用于比较不同国家和不同时期的相对贫穷和绝对贫穷水平。 该奖项为为期三年的卢森堡收入研究提供核心支持。 在此期间，数据库管理将有几项改进（更先进的电子查询系统、合格用户可直接获得某些数据、更好的联机文件、1990年代中期第四波数据、新的劳动力调查）;研究（不平等、贫困和性别研究）;培训（每年在美国、欧洲和其他地方举办地雷影响调查讲习班）;为收入分配统计制定新的国际标准;为收入分配研究开发购买力平价;以及为美国用户提供更直接的访问其他国家调查的机会。 卢森堡收入研究有助于经济学、社会学和更广泛的社会科学方面的跨国比较研究。 它加强了这些领域的研究生教育和培训，并在数据库管理方面取得了进展。 由LIS促成的研究直接涉及人力资本倡议的中心主题，如克服贫困和匮乏，培养成功的家庭，减少多元化社会中的不利因素，为未来提供教育，以及雇用生产性劳动力。 此外，它还是社会科学科学设施的原型，包括跨学科、跨国合作企业，这些企业可以加强数据基础设施并促进可能产生重要公共政策影响的研究。
