We study finite-dimensional Lie algebras of polynomial vector fields in n variables that contain all partial derivatives and the Euler operator. We derive some general results on the structure of such Lie algebras, and provide the complete classification in the cases n=2 and n=3. Finally we describe a certain construction in high dimensions.
