A new beta version of EUROMOD has been released! Download links and data request form can be found in the Access EUROMOD area on this website

What’s new?

This beta release enables users to obtain updated estimates of the several components of household disposable income for each Member State up to the policy year 2021. It basically consists of the inclusion and configuration of a new EUROMOD input database (2020) for 16 countries and the updating of the aggregate statistics used for the uprating factors up to 2021 (with respect to the previous public version of the model). This update is a key input for Eurostat’s nowcasting exercises conducted for the flash-estimates on poverty and inequality. It does not yet contain information on the policy systems of the current year (2022), as the next beta release will.

Compared to the latest public release (I4.0+), the model includes:

POLICIES AND FUNCTIONALITIES

• Updated uprating factors up to 2021 and correction of errors/bugs.
