EUROMOD - Tax-benefit microsimulation model for the European Union

EUROMOD on-site training Spring 2025

  • Upcoming Event
  •   -  
  • JRC Seville

The course will be held on 21, 22 and 23 May 2025 in hybrid format: at the premises of JRC-Seville (application period closed) and online (no application needed - relevant links will soon be added here). The course is free of charge, but there is no reimbursement of travel/subsistence costs.

The course is targeted to new and potential users of EUROMOD. It does not assume any previous knowledge of the model, but a background in the use of microdata and distributional analysis will help to make the most of it. It will include the following sessions:

  1. Microsimulation models and introduction to EUROMOD; EUROMOD language; Handling errors
  2. Variable types; Defining tax units, constants and income lists
  3. Simulation of consumption taxes in EUROMOD
  4. Functions Elig, ArithOp & Allocate
  5. Functions BenCalc & SchedCalc
  6. Function DefOutput; Uprating indices; EUROMOD Connectors 

The training combines lectures with live demonstrations of the model. Participants will also have the opportunity to carry out a number of hands-on exercises to test and refine their understanding of the model. Please note that due to data access restrictions, during the course we will be using hypothetical training datasets. No access to microdata on actual households will be granted on the basis of taking part to the course.
