SES-0960763Janet GornickCUNY Graduate SchoolFounded in 1983, the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) is a unique, cross-national data archive and research center which fosters primary research by providing access to household microdata. LIS operates as a consortium of countries, governed by an international board, and serving an international community of researchers. LIS has four, longstanding goals: 1) harmonize microdatasets, from multiple countries, which include data on income, wealth, employment and demography; 2) provide a secure method that allows access to data with privacy restrictions; 3) create a remote-access system to enable research conducted from off-site locations; and 4) promote the use of microdata in comparative research on social and economic wellbeing on a global level, conduct research onsite, and sponsor and host scholars using the LIS data. A new goal: include datasets from geographically and economically diverse countries in order to broaden the basis for intellectual inquiry using household microdata. LIS houses two databases: the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Database and the Luxembourg Wealth Study (LWS) Database. LIS personnel acquire, harmonize and document diverse datasets from countries around the globe. The LIS datasets include income, employment, and demographic variables at the person- and household-level. The LIS database now includes microdata from 36 countries and contains nearly 200 datasets spanning the years 1968 to 2006. The newer LWS database (launched December 2007) contains 15 wealth datasets from 10 countries and covers the period 1994 to 2004. New datasets for LIS and LWS are added regularly. LIS prepares two sets of standardized national indicators: one on household inequality and poverty and one on women?s economic outcomes; both are publicly available on the LIS website, www.lisproject.org. In addition, a new online table-maker (the WebTab) makes the LIS data available to a large, less technically oriented population of users. Extensive documentation is available on the underlying surveys, the harmonization process, and the country-specific institutions that shape income and wealth levels and distributions. LIS provides online instructional materials, extensive user support, and annual training workshops. LIS is a venue for researchers to exchange ideas, results, and methods; these exchanges take place through the Working Paper series, the Visiting Scholar program, and the many conferences that are regularly sponsored by LIS. To promote excellence in scholarship, LIS hosts two research awards. LIS maintains the only data archive in existence that includes income, wealth and labor market microdata, spanning decades and from diverse geographic regions. The LIS datasets foster research on economic and social policies and their effects on outcomes including poverty, income inequality, employment status, wage patterns, gender inequality, and family structure. The LWS datasets enable research on wealth portfolios, asset levels, and the interplay between household income and wealth. LIS? data users cross-cut several disciplines (e.g., economics, sociology, political science, policy studies) and employ a wide range of statistical approaches and methods. LIS anticipates increased interest in and broader applications of LIS as its geographic and economic expansion unfolds. Broader impactSince LIS' inception, thousands of researchers have accessed the microdata; produced Working Papers, government reports, journal articles and books; attended workshops; participated as Visiting Scholars; contributed to research conferences; and provided invaluable intellectual guidance regarding LIS? activities and products. There are hundreds of active registered LIS users worldwide; Americans make up about one-third of users and generate approximately one-third of statistical queries to the archive. LIS has embarked on a substantial expansion that will influence potential research initiatives and affect almost every aspect of the organization: LIS plans to acquire and harmonize, into LIS, datasets from 15-20 new middle-income countries over the next 3-5 years, double the number of countries participating in LWS, expand its research capacity, further its collaborations, and broaden its public profile internationally.

SES-0960763珍妮特GornickCUNY研究生院成立于1983年，卢森堡收入研究（LIS）是一个独特的，跨国数据档案和研究中心，通过提供家庭微观数据促进初级研究。地雷影响调查是一个由国家组成的联合体，由一个国际委员会管理，为国际研究人员团体服务。LIS有四个长期目标：1）协调来自多个国家的微数据集，其中包括收入，财富，就业和人口统计数据; 2）提供一种安全的方法，允许在隐私限制的情况下访问数据; 3）创建远程访问系统，以便从非现场位置进行研究; 4）促进微观数据在全球社会和经济福祉比较研究中的使用，开展现场研究，并赞助和接待使用LIS数据的学者。一个新的目标：包括来自地理和经济上不同的国家的数据集，以扩大利用家庭微观数据进行知识调查的基础。卢森堡收入研究中心有两个数据库：卢森堡收入研究数据库和卢森堡财富研究数据库。地雷影响调查人员从地球仪各国获取、协调和记录各种数据集。LIS数据集包括个人和家庭层面的收入、就业和人口统计变量。地雷影响调查数据库现在包括来自36个国家的微观数据，包含1968年至2006年的近200个数据集。较新的LWS数据库（2007年12月启动）包含10个国家的15个财富数据集，涵盖1994年至2004年。定期添加LIS和LWS的新数据集。 土地影响调查编制了两套标准化的国家指标：一套关于家庭不平等和贫穷，另一套关于妇女？的经济成果;这两种数据都可以在LIS网站www.lisproject.org上公开获取。2另外，一个新的在线表格制作器（WebTab）使LIS数据可以被大量的、技术性不强的用户使用。关于基本调查、协调进程以及影响收入和财富水平及分配的具体国家机构的大量文献可供查阅。LIS提供在线教学材料、广泛的用户支持和年度培训研讨会。LIS是研究人员交流思想、成果和方法的场所;这些交流通过工作论文系列、访问学者计划以及LIS定期赞助的许多会议进行。为了促进卓越的奖学金，LIS主办两个研究奖。LIS维护着现有的唯一数据档案，包括收入，财富和劳动力市场微观数据，跨越几十年，来自不同的地理区域。LIS数据集促进了对经济和社会政策及其对结果的影响的研究，包括贫困，收入不平等，就业状况，工资模式，性别不平等和家庭结构。LWS数据集可以对财富组合、资产水平以及家庭收入与财富之间的相互作用进行研究。丽丝？数据用户横切几个学科（例如，经济学，社会学，政治学，政策研究），并采用广泛的统计方法和方法。地雷影响调查预计，随着地理和经济的扩展，人们对地雷影响调查的兴趣会增加，应用范围也会扩大。更广泛的影响自LIS成立以来，数千名研究人员访问了微观数据;制作了工作文件、政府报告、期刊文章和书籍;参加了研讨会;作为访问学者参加了研讨会;为研究会议做出了贡献;并提供了有关LIS的宝贵知识指导。活动和产品。全世界有数百名活跃的LIS注册用户;美国人约占用户的三分之一，对档案的统计查询约占三分之一。地雷影响调查已开始大幅度扩展，这将影响潜在的研究举措，并影响到该组织的几乎每一个方面：地雷影响调查计划在今后3至5年内从15至20个新的中等收入国家获得数据集并将其统一到地雷影响调查中，使参加地雷预警系统的国家数量增加一倍，扩大其研究能力，进一步开展合作，并扩大其国际公众形象。
