ACTIVITIES/MILESTONES
The EUROMOD consortium consists of the core developer group in ISER (University of Essex)/ from 2018/20 on JRC Seville and the national expert groups of each Member States. Our task as the Austrian expert team is to provide an annual update of policy parameters, the Austrian input data (EU-SILC national data) for the model, as well as validation.
In 2020, the Austrian part of EUROMOD will be updated to 2020 policy rules (incl. the introduction of the social insurance bonus) using the latest input data (SILC 2018 with incomes for 2017).
A detailed description of the policy parameters, the micro-database as well as on validation results is provided in the EUROMOD country reports.
