In-person only (University of Michigan)
The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), begun in 1968, is the world's longest-running multigenerational household panel study. It is used 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 many other topics.
This five-day workshop will orient participants to the content and structure of the core PSID interview, its special topics modules, and its supplemental studies, including the Child Development Supplement (CDS), the Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS), and the 2013 Rosters and Transfers Module. In addition, discussion topics will include the genomics data collected from children and adults as well as new data files which explain family relationships and demographic characteristics over time.
Eligibility: The workshop is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior faculty, and research professionals.
Software: Participants should be familiar with Stata, SAS or R, but all examples used in the workshop will be in Stata. R code will be available for each lab as well.
