The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), begun in 1968, is the world's longest-running multigenerational household panel study. It is used widely in behavioral, social, and health sciences to investigate scientific and policy questions about life course trajectories in health and well-being, intergenerational social and economic mobility, income and wealth inequality, family investments in children, neighborhood effects on opportunity and achievement, and other topics. This workshop will orient participants to the content and structure of the core PSID interview, special topics modules, and supplemental studies. Classroom demonstrations using PSID data extracts will illustrate key concepts. In lab sessions, participants will develop their own analytic data files under the guidance of project staff.
Workshop Fee and Stipends: $100 (for accepted participants only). A limited number of travel stipends are available (requires additional application materials submitted by April 15, 2016).
