Why use EUROMOD?

EUROMOD is widely used in policy-relevant research, including within academic disciplines from public economics to comparative social policy.

Key strengths of the model include:

• The only multi-country tax-benefit model available for the EU, the UK and other countries
• The only accessible model for many individual countries
• Harmonised input data and policy simulations for all countries
• Highly flexible policy settings
• Intuitive user interface
• Special-purpose tax-benefit modelling language
• Extensive library of policies
• Continually updated and developed

EUROMOD can be linked to, or used alongside, other types of model (behavioural, macro-economic or environmental) as a tax-benefit policy calculator or to provide a distributional perspective.

EUROMOD’s flexibility means that it can be adapted to shortcut the process of building tax-benefit models with potentially comparable outputs for any country.
