Timothy M. Smeeding, Michael O'Higgins, Lee Rainwater

The Luxembourg Income Study is a unique database that makes possible comparisons between countries at the individual and family levels. Seven countries are in the database at present, and more are being added on a regular basis. This book describes the technical and methodological aspects of the LIS database and uses LIS data to compare income distribution and redistribution, poverty, and the relationship between age and income across nations.
