The Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) database project consists of comparable cross-sectional microdata on the composition of households and the structure of their incomes for 25 industrialized economies as of January 2001. It has also added labor force survey data for 16 nations under another subtitle, the Luxembourg Employment Study (LES). LIS is one of the (if not the) leading examples of an interdisciplinary, cross-national, cooperative data infrastructure which supports research that leads to important policy relevant insights. The plans for the next three years include several improvements in database management (more sophisticated electronic access system; better on-line documentation; fifth wave of data for 2000; new surveys of the labor force); in research (inequality, poverty, gender studies); in training (annual LIS workshops in the United States, in Europe and elsewhere); in continuing to set new international standards for income distribution statistics; and in developing purchasing power parities for income distribution studies; and in providing US users with more direct access to the other nations' LIS surveys.Over the past 17 years, the LIS project has demonstrated its feasibility and usefulness as an internationally sponsored and researcher-lead database infrastructure project. The vast majority of its support, and all of its "core" operations, are funded by an international consortium of 16 nations and 22 funders such as the U.S. National Science Foundation. Because electronic access to LIS is, by design and intent, free once a privacy pledge is signed, users treat it as a "public good" which provides benefits at little or no direct cost to them. Hence, "core" funding is always a crucial issue. And so this proposal for core funding from the United States, like the proposals to the other 15 nations, is vital to the continued future of the LIS project.

卢森堡收入研究数据库项目包括截至2001年1月25个工业化经济体关于家庭组成及其收入结构的可比较的跨部门微观数据。 它还在另一个副标题卢森堡就业研究（LES）下增加了16个国家的劳动力调查数据。 LIS是跨学科，跨国，合作数据基础设施的主要例子之一，支持导致重要政策相关见解的研究。未来三年的计划包括数据库管理方面的几项改进（更先进的电子查询系统;更好的联机文件编制; 2000年第五波数据;新的劳动力调查）;在研究方面（不平等、贫穷、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）;继续为收入分配统计制定新的国际标准;过去17年来，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，LIS项目证明了其可行性和有用性。 它的绝大多数支持，以及它的所有“核心”业务，都是由一个由16个国家和22个资助者组成的国际财团资助的，比如美国国家科学基金会。由于LIS的电子访问在设计和意图上是免费的，一旦签署了隐私保证书，用户就把它当作一种“公益”，以很少或根本没有直接成本的方式提供好处。因此，“核心”供资始终是一个关键问题。因此，美国提出的核心资金建议，就像其他15个国家提出的建议一样，对LIS项目的持续未来至关重要。
