Rigorous research for better economic policies
The IZA@LISER Network unites over 2,000 scholars from more than 450 institutions worldwide. We stand for cutting-edge research and independent policy advice in labour economics and related fields. Our goal is not only to publish new findings but also to foster vivid exchanges between science, policy, and society.
After the closure of the IZA Institute in Bonn at the end of 2025, the network moved to Luxembourg and is now coordinated by the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER).
We are currently adapting our digital presence to this new structure. Please bear with us as individual sections of the website are continuously updated in the coming days and weeks.
Publications
Our two flagship series cater to different groups: the IZA Discussion Papers provide academic depth, while the World of Labour also serves a general audience.
