40700 - The Panel Study of Income Dynamics: A Study of Families and a Family of Studies

Description

The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), begun in 1968, is the world's longest-running nationally representative 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 talk will orient participants to the history, content, and structure of the core PSID interview, its special topics modules, and its supplemental studies, including the Child Development Supplement (CDS) and the Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS).
