Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Minimum Income Schemes indexation in EU-27 JRC Seville, Spain This paper examines the effectiveness of Minimum Income Schemes (MIS) across EU-27 countries during the high inflation period of 2021-2024. Using microsimulation techniques, we analyse how well MIS parameters kept pace with inflation and assess their capacity to protect vulnerable households from monetary poverty. Our results suggest that countries with automatic indexation mechanisms demonstrate superior poverty outcomes with respect to those lacking formal indexation mechanisms or implementing insufficient adjustments. Moreover, in some countries MIS seem able to mitigate a large part of the increase in poverty rates, while in others they have a limited potential to do so, even with optimal indexation conditions. This work demonstrates that the interaction between indexation mechanisms and underlying design features, such as coverage, generosity and eligibility criteria, fundamentally shapes the schemes’ distributional outcomes.
