The Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) project is a consortium of multiple nations which, via their NSF's and other research funders, cooperatively finance a research and data center. Here LIS harmonizes household income microdata sets collected by each nation, and employs electronic mail to make the data available to researchers across the globe. This data is used by over 400 researchers worldwide to analyze economic and social policy and its effect on such topics as regional and group-specific income structures, poverty and income inequality, political support for public policy, voting, fertility, immigration, child-wellbeing, and wage and earnings differentials by education level and by gender. Regular activities such as biennial meetings of sponsoring agencies and annual summer workshops are combined with intermittent conferences based on the database. Currently, twenty-nine nations participate in LIS, with several others (Korea,South Africa, Turkey, Portugal, Greece) in the process of joining. Over 130 data bases are now in LIS, with more being added every month (see www.lisproject.org). LIS has come to be the most respected source of cross-nationally available household income distribution data and related studies extant. And so this proposal for core funding from the US, like the proposals to the other 29 nations, is vital to the future of the LIS project.The plans for the next three years include several improvements in database management (more sophisticated electronic access system; web tabulator access system for non programmers; better on-line documentation, fifth wave of data); in research (inequality, poverty, gender studies, etc.); in training (annual LIS workshops in the United States, in Europe and elsewhere). The research aims include developing better purchasing power parities for income distribution studies; adding a number of developing nations data and making them comparable with rich nations data; expanding the usage of LIS in studies of political economy; measuring effects of low income on child well being; and related subject areas. This project is also beginning a new Luxembourg Wealth Study which is parallel to the LIS but which is based on household wealth surveys in 10 nations.

卢森堡收入研究（LIS）项目是一个由多个国家组成的联盟，通过他们的NSF和其他研究资助者，合作资助一个研究和数据中心。在这方面，土地信息系统统一了各国收集的家庭收入微观数据集，并利用电子邮件将数据提供给地球仪的研究人员。这些数据被全球400多名研究人员用于分析经济和社会政策及其对区域和特定群体收入结构，贫困和收入不平等，公共政策的政治支持，投票，生育率，移民，儿童福利以及教育水平和性别的工资和收入差异等主题的影响。赞助机构两年期会议和每年夏季讲习班等定期活动与根据数据库举行的间歇性会议相结合。 目前，有29个国家参加地雷影响调查，还有几个国家（韩国、南非、土耳其、葡萄牙、希腊）正在加入。目前，地雷影响调查系统中有130多个数据库，而且每月都在增加（见www.lisproject.org）。土地影响调查已成为最受尊敬的跨国家庭收入分布数据和相关研究的来源。因此，这项由美国提供核心资金的建议，就像对其他29个国家的建议一样，对LIS项目的未来至关重要。（更先进的电子访问系统;非程序员的网络制表访问系统;更好的联机文件编制、第五波数据）;研究（不平等、贫穷、性别研究等）;培训方面（每年在美国、欧洲和其他地方举办地雷影响调查讲习班）。 研究目标包括为收入分配研究开发更好的购买力平价;增加一些发展中国家的数据，使其与富裕国家的数据相比较;扩大LIS在政治经济学研究中的使用;衡量低收入对儿童福祉的影响;以及相关的主题领域。 该项目还开始了一项新的卢森堡财富研究，该研究与地雷影响调查平行，但以10个国家的家庭财富调查为基础。
