Luxembourg Income Study

本申请寻求ESRC对LIS（前卢森堡收入研究）的持续财政支持，LIS是一个跨国数据档案和研究机构。LIS是收入和财富数据的数据基础设施，其主要目的是使跨国，跨学科的社会经济成果及其决定因素的初步研究。虽然地雷影响调查系统实际设在卢森堡，但地雷影响调查系统微观数据的用户来自包括联合王国在内的70个国家。从多个国家获取、协调和记录不同数据集的工作是劳动密集型的，需要10名或更多全职工作人员。为了避免向个人用户收取费用，地雷影响调查正在寻求财政支持，以便能够继续向研究人员提供高质量的数据。该申请寻求ESRC的支持，以帮助支付LIS的基本运营成本，主要包括工作人员工资和计算机设备，LIS设有两个数据库-卢森堡收入研究（LIS）和卢森堡财富研究（LWS）。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。自成立以来，LIS数据集已被来自世界各地的4，300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-以及与其他数据集结合时-儿童福利，健康状况，移民，政治行为和公众舆论。新的LWS数据集可以研究财富组合，资产水平以及家庭收入和财富之间的相互作用。由于保密原因，地雷影响调查和地雷预警系统中的微观数据不能直接查阅，也不能从设在卢森堡的地雷影响调查办公室取出。因此，只有注册用户可以通过电子邮件向远程执行系统利西（一个系统特定的作业提交界面）查询微数据。用户发送程序并接收统计摘要作为其请求的最终产品。土地信息系统是一种独特的资源，其主要功能是通过向公众提供有控制的家庭数据来促进研究。地雷影响调查系统是现有的唯一一个数据档案，其中包括收入、财富和劳动力市场数据，这些数据来自不同的地理区域和不同的收入水平。地雷影响调查系统还通过其在线学习材料、用户支持人员和培训讲习班，向地雷影响调查系统和地雷预警系统研究人员提供高水平的用户支持和实践援助。LIS长期以来也是研究人员和从业人员交流研究思想、成果和方法的场所。这些交流通过广泛访问的工作文件系列，访问学者计划，博士前和博士后博士后，年度研讨会，会议和虚拟场地进行。参与国为高收入和中等收入国家。地雷影响调查将继续扩大，以包括更多中等收入国家的数据集，从而在收入、人口和劳动力市场研究方面提供更多的比较机会。此外，LWS将继续发展和增长，增加更多的国家和年份，从而促进与财富相关的新的和扩展的研究领域。联合王国是地雷影响调查和地雷预警系统的最初参与者之一。三十年来，英国的个人和组织一直积极参与LIS，提供数据，提供资金并担任董事会成员。自LIS成立以来，英国的研究人员查询了微观数据;使用LIS数据制作了出版物，政府报告和工作文件;参加了夏季研讨会;参加了访问学者计划;为研究会议和会议卷做出了贡献;并提供了关于LIS活动和产品的宝贵知识指导和方向（可应要求提供名称）。

This application seeks continued financial support from the ESRC for LIS (formerly the Luxembourg Income Study), a cross-national data archive and research institute. LIS is a data infrastructure of income and wealth data whose primary purpose is to enable cross-national, interdisciplinary primary research into socio-economic outcomes and their determinants. Whilst LIS is physically located in Luxembourg, users of the LIS microdata come from 70 countries including the UK. The work of acquiring, harmonising and documenting diverse datasets from multiple countries is labour intensive, requiring 10 or more full-time staff. In order to avoid having to charge individual user fees, LIS is seeking financial support to be able to continue providing researchers with access to high-quality data. This application seeks support from ESRC to help cover LIS' basic operating costs, which primarily consists of staff salaries and computer equipment.LIS, the institution, houses two databases - the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) and the Luxembourg Wealth Study (LWS). LIS datasets include income, employment, and demographic variables at the person- and household-level. Since its founding, LIS datasets have been used by 4,300 researchers from around the world to analyse economic and social policies and their effects on outcomes including poverty, income inequality, employment status, wage patterns, gender inequality, family formation - and when combined with other datasets - child-wellbeing, health status, immigration, political behavior and public opinion. The newer LWS datasets enable research on wealth portfolios, asset levels, and the interplay between household income and wealth. The microdata contained in LIS and LWS are not accessible directly for reasons of confidentiality, and cannot be removed from the LIS office in Luxembourg. Therefore, only registered users may query the microdata via email to the remote-execution system, LISSY, a system-specific job submission interface. The users send programs and receive statistical summaries as the end product of their request. LIS is a unique resource, whose primary function is to facilitate research by providing controlled public access to household data. LIS is the only data archive in existence that includes income, wealth and labour market data, over time and in one place from such diverse geographic regions and at such varied income levels. LIS also provides a high level of user support and hands-on assistance to LIS and LWS researchers - through its online learning materials, user-support staff, and training workshops. LIS has also long operated as a venue for researchers and practitioners to exchange research ideas, results, and methods. These exchanges take place through the widely accessed Working Paper Series, the Visiting Scholar program, pre- and postdoctoral postings, annual workshops, conferences, and virtual venues. The participating countries are high-income and middle-income countries. LIS will continue to grow to include many more middle-income countries' datasets, enabling greater comparative opportunities in income, demographic, and labour market research. Additionally, LWS will continue to develop and grow, adding more countries and years, and thus facilitating new and expanded lines of research related to wealth. The UK was one of the initial participants in both LIS and LWS. Individuals and organisations in the UK have been actively engaged with LIS for three decades, providing data, contributing financing and serving as board members. Since LIS' inception, researchers in the UK have queried the microdata; produced publications, government reports and working papers using the LIS data; attended summer workshops; participated in the Visiting Scholar program; contributed to research conferences and conference volumes; and provided invaluable intellectual guidance and direction regarding LIS' activities and products (names available upon request).
