Access step-by-step
EUROMOD has three components: the software, the model (coded policy rules) and the input microdata. The software and the model can be downloaded directly, while the EU-SILC+HBS-based microdata have to be requested following a specific procedure. See details below.
You can find detailed instructions on how to install and configure these components, along with quick guides to run EUROMOD, on the documentation section.
Software
EUROMOD installer v3.8.1 (64 bit) Latest software (June 2025) Release notes
Previous and 32bit versions can be found in the archive.
The EUROMOD software includes the user interface, its underlying calculator and some applications (HHoT, Statistics Presenter, In-depth Analysis). The source code is distributed as open source under the EUPL-1.2 License and available in GitHub. The installer is distributed under an End-user licence agreement.
EUROMOD Connectors
In order to facilitate the use of EUROMOD for research and analysis, we built libraries, which we typically refer to as a connector in order to be able to call the microsimulation model from Stata, Python and R.
The Stata Connector to EUROMOD is a set of pre-programmed Stata commands that allows users to interact with EUROMOD directly from Stata. They run EUROMOD on the data held in the Stata working memory and return the results to Stata as well, allowing also to modify constants of the model without opening the EUROMOD user interface. To use the commands, you need to install EUROMOD software version 3.7.10 or later. The Stata Connector can be installed using Stata's ssc command:
ssc install euromodThe Python Connector to EUROMOD is a library in Python that has more capabilities than the one in Stata. Besides being able to run the model on data held in memory (either in a pandas DataFrame or polars DataFrame), one can also inspect the spine in detail and override, for example, the values of constants. The minimum requirements to use the library are Python 3.8 and EUROMOD software version 3.7.10.
An extensive documentation is available on https://pythonconnectoreuromod.readthedocs.io/.
The library can be installed using pip through the following command:
pip install euromodAlthough there is not a library explicitly written for R, one can interact with EUROMOD using the library reticulate, which allows to call Python libraries from R. As a prerequisite, one needs to install a Python distribution ( version >= 3.8 ) in order to use it.
This link contains a zip-file with information on how to set things up, together with some examples.
Model
EUROMOD model J1.47+ Beta release (June 2025) Release notes
EUROMOD model J1.0+ Latest stable release (February 2025) Release notes
Previous versions can be found in the archive.
The model is a set of xml files which contain the coded policy rules. It also includes training datasets for all country models. Synthetic data can be created with the Hypothetical Household Tool (HHoT), included as a plugin with the software. If you would like to request survey-based input microdata, please see next point. The coded policy rules are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence (Open Source) since EUROMOD I3.0+.
Data
Data repository (S-CIRCABC) Input data request form
In order to get access to EUROMOD input data for the 27 EU member states, a valid Research Project Proposal (RPP) approved by Eurostat is needed. An updated list of available datasets can be found here. A comprehensive list (for informative purposes) of all the variables included in the most recent EUROMOD input datasets, along with descriptions and information about their derivation, can be downloaded here.
You need to follow a two-step process:
- Your institution needs to be recognised by Eurostat as a research entity that is allowed to access microdata (this may take around 4 weeks). You can check whether your institution is already on the List of recognised research entities.
- You will need to submit an RPP to Eurostat stating that you want to use EUROMOD input data and explaining the research purposes (this may take around 8 weeks).
If you have an old RPP that only gave you access to EU-SILC data (and not to HBS data) to be used in EUROMOD, you will have to amend it to add EUROMOD input data. Otherwise you will not be able to get access to the EUROMOD datasets disseminated from 2025 onwards, since they contain information extracted from HBS data.
Full information about requests and amendments can be found in the Eurostat document How to apply for microdata access?
Once you have a valid Research Project Proposal (RPP) approved by Eurostat, the RPP's principal researcher or data manager has to submit an input data request form. After following the procedure indicated, the principal researcher/data manager will gain access to the data repository, where the input datasets are stored every time new datasets are available. Access to input data will be provided until the expiration of the RPP, meaning that the input data request form has to be submitted only once.
The UK datasets, needed for the UK module of EUROMOD model versions up to I3.86+, are provided by CeMPA (instructions).
