Research in Income Inequality, Income Security, and Social Welfare
CPR is the U.S. home of the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) project. Sponsored by a multi-nation consortium of national science and research foundations, LIS provides a basis for cross-national comparisons of living standards, poverty, and public policy toward at-risk populations (elderly, children, single parents) in 27 nations over the period 1968-2001. Additional information, including the LIS working paper series, is available at http://www.lisproject.org. U.S. funding for LIS and related research has come from the National Science Foundation, the National Institute on Aging, the Russell Sage Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Social Security Administration.
