The Cross-National Data Center in Luxembourg (LIS) has attracted some big names in economics over the past few years, including the income inequality scholar Branko Milanovic and, most recently, Nobel Prize winner and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. What's the draw? Huge, globally relevant income data sets. Data fans can register to gain access to these data sets themselves and the Working Papers provide a great way for readers to explore LIS-based research. Abstracts and full texts of all submissions are available here and the Working Papers Search Engine allows for an easy search of the LIS database by author, year, or keyword. The News & Events section highlights recent happenings at LIS, including Workshops, Lectures, and published studies. Additionally, visitors to the site will find an informative 30-minute documentary about this important economics think tank in the About LIS section of the site.
