U.S. Participation in the Development of a Transnational Database: The Luxembourg Income Study, 2007 - 2009.

这项资助为NSF对卢森堡收入研究（LIS）的长期支持提供了继续支持。美国的持续支持补充了其他财政捐助国的支持。该研究所成立于1983年，是一个由30个国家组成的联盟，通过它们的国家科学基金会和其他研究资助者，合作资助该研究所的研究中心和微数据档案。LIS研究中心协调每个国家收集的微数据集，并使用电子邮件将协调后的数据提供给全球的研究人员。自LIS成立以来，微数据集（包括家庭和个人层面的收入、劳动力市场和人口变量）已被许多国家的1000多名研究人员用于分析经济和社会政策及其对结果的影响，包括贫困、收入不平等、就业状况、工资模式、性别不平等、家庭形成、移民、儿童福利、健康状况、政治态度和投票行为。超过150个收入数据集现在包含在LIS中，并且每年都在增加。LIS是最受尊敬的跨国家庭微观数据来源，也是跨越多个社会科学学科的庞大跨国研究机构的所在地。正如2003-2008年国家科学基金会战略计划所描述的那样，LIS的活动、目标和成就与NSF的几个优先事项高度一致，尤其是发展智力资本、整合研究和教育、促进跨学科和机构之间的合作和伙伴关系，特别是国际合作。此外，它与国家科学基金会长期以来对开发新知识并使其为决策者和广大公众所利用的重视非常吻合。该研究所对经济学、社会学、政治学和社会科学的跨国比较研究做出了更广泛的贡献；研究生教育和培训；以及在数据库管理和访问方面的进步。

SES- 0649025PI: Janet GornickCUNY Graduate SchoolThis grant provides support for the continuation of NSF's longstanding support for the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS). Continued support from the U.S. complements support from other financially contributing countries. The LIS, founded in 1983, is organized as a consortium of thirty countries which, via their national science foundations and other research funders, cooperatively finance LIS's research center and microdata archive. The LIS research center harmonizes microdatasets collected by each country, and employs electronic mail to make the harmonized data available to researchers around the globe. Since LIS's inception, the microdatasets, which include income, labor market, and demographic variables at the household and person levels -- have been used by over 1000 researchers in many countries to analyze economic and social policies and their effects on outcomes, including poverty, income inequality, employment status, wage patterns, gender inequality, family formation, immigration, child-wellbeing, health status, political attitudes, and voting behavior. Over 150 income datasets are now included in LIS, with more being added every year. LIS is the most respected source of cross-nationally available household microdata and the locus of an enormous body of cross-national research spanning several social science disciplines. The activities, goals and accomplishments of LIS are highly compatible with several of the NSF's priorities, as described in the 2003-2008 NSF Strategic Plan, most especially developing intellectual capital, integrating research and education, and promoting collaboration and partnerships across disciplines and institutions, especially internationally. Moreover, it fits well with NSF's longstanding emphases on developing new knowledge and making it accessible to policy-makers and to the public at large. The LIS contributes to cross-national comparative research in economics, sociology, political science and the social sciences more generally; graduate education and training; and advances in database management and access.
