EU
EUROMOD EU is a tax-benefit microsimulation model for the European Union that enables researchers and policy analysts to calculate, in a comparable manner, the effects of taxes and benefits on household incomes and work incentives for the population of each EU Member State.
History:
EUROMOD was originally developed for the countries of the EU-15 as part of a series of European Commission funded (FP3, FP4 and FP5) research projects, starting in 1996.
In 2005-2008 a FP6 Research Infrastructure Design Study (I-CUE “Improving the Capacity and Usability of EUROMOD”) provided the basis to extend the model to incorporate the 2004 accession countries and make it easier to update, maintain and use. Since then EUROMOD’s updating and development has been supported by funding from DG-Employment’s European Union Programme for Employment and Social Security (PROGRESS) and, from 2016, via the European Union Programme for Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI). EUROMOD now covers all member states.
Since 2021, the European Commission is responsible for the model’s update, maintenance and development. Since 2021, the UK is no longer maintained following Brexit. A separate UK model is developed and maintained by the Centre for Microsimulation and Policy Analysis.
