Euromod

What Euromod does

Euromod is the public-facing identity of the Centre for Microsimulation and Policy Analysis (CeMPA), an academic research center hosted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex in Colchester, United Kingdom. Rather than being a commercial software vendor, CeMPA is a grant-funded research operation that develops and maintains a family of microsimulation tools — most notably EUROMOD (a cross-EU tax-benefit microsimulation model), UKMOD (a UK-national tax-benefit microsimulation model with an interactive exploration interface called UKMOD Explore), and JAS-mine (a Java-based discrete-event simulation platform that supports agent-based and dynamic microsimulation) — alongside numerous country-specific models organized into regional families (SOUTHMOD for sub-Saharan Africa and Vietnam, LATINMOD for Latin America, plus single-country models such as miCROmod for South Africa, MEXMOD, COLMOD, SORESI, LigurMOD, and RUSMOD).

The underlying technology combines detailed microdata on household incomes, taxes, and benefits with country-specific policy rules to compute distributional impacts of tax-benefit reforms across income deciles, work incentives, and poverty rates. Versioned input datasets (for example, UKMOD B2026.03 released with new 2024 input data) are refreshed on a roughly twice-yearly cadence, and the platform is supported by an active research program across multiple UK and international funders (ESRC, UKRI Medical Research Council, NIHR, CHANSE-NORFACE). The software is accessed by academic researchers, government analysts, and international organizations through formal data access agreements rather than commercial licensing.

The revenue model is fundamentally non-commercial: the organization is funded through academic research grants and institutional support from the University of Essex, with supplementary income from training courses on microsimulation and policy analysis provided to researchers and analysts. Pricing for institutional access is covered by grants or institutional subscriptions rather than disclosed commercial fees. Customers are concentrated in three segments — academic researchers (primary), government policymakers (primary), and international organizations and NGOs (secondary) — and there are no disclosed enterprise sales, equity investors, or M&A activity in the source material.

Revenue model

1. Academic Research Grants: EUROMOD and related tools are primarily funded through academic research grants from UK and international funding bodies. The Centre for Microsimulation and Policy Analysis operates as a research center at the University of Essex, funded by research councils including ESRC, UKRI Medical Research Council, NIHR, and CHANSE-NORFACE.
2. Training and Access Services: The center provides training courses on microsimulation and policy analysis, generating some revenue from academic institutions and researchers accessing the platform.

Core offering

Euromod develops and distributes tax-benefit microsimulation software platforms, principally EUROMOD for comparable cross-country analysis of taxes and benefits on household incomes and work incentives, UKMOD for UK nation-level policy modeling, and JAS-mine, a Java-based platform for discrete-event, agent-based, and dynamic microsimulation. The portfolio also includes country-specific models (SOUTHMOD family for Africa, LATINMOD family for Latin America, plus models for Russia, South Africa, Slovenia, Italy, Mexico, Colombia) used by academic researchers, government policymakers, and international organizations. Access is granted through formal data access agreements managed by CeMPA at the University of Essex.

Product overview

Euromod operates as a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on microsimulation for distributional analysis and policy evaluation. The core EUROMOD platform enables comparable cross-country tax and benefit analysis, while UKMOD provides UK-specific modeling capabilities. JAS-mine serves as an underlying Java simulation platform supporting discrete-event and agent-based microsimulation. The portfolio includes numerous country-specific models: SOUTHMOD family models (ETMOD, GHAMOD, MicroZAMOD, MOZMOD, UGAMOD, TAZMOD, VNMOD), miCROmod for South Africa, regional European models (SORESI, LigurMOD, RUSMOD), LATINMOD variants (Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Venezuela), and MEXMOD and COLMOD for Latin America. All products focus on calculating effects of taxes and benefits on household incomes and work incentives.
