  Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) Data User Workshop June 15-19

The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID)
<https://umich.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4de0acf23f8cd9a943b256ebd&id=e09ffe6d3c&e=17afda8ecf>,
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 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, the
Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS), the Disability and Use of Time
Supplement (DUST), the Childhood Retrospective Circumstances Study (CRCS),
and the Wellbeing and Daily Life Study.

Lecture sessions will cover topics such as study design, changes to content
and sample composition over time, rules for following sample members into
new households, and weighting. 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.

*Eligibility*: The workshop is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral
fellows, junior faculty, and research professionals.

*Software*: Participants should be familiar with Stata or SAS, but all
examples used in the workshop will be in Stata.

*Application*: Enrollment is limited to 25 participants. Apply using the Summer
