Abstract

The Current Population Survey (CPS) has been the nation's primary source of information about employment and unemployment for decades. The data are widely used by social scientists and policy makers to study labor force participation, poverty, and other high-priority topics. An underutilized feature of the CPS is its short-run panel component. This paper discusses the unique challenges encountered when linking basic monthly data as well as when linking the March basic monthly data to the Annual Social and Economic (ASEC) Supplement in the 1976-1988 period. We describe strategies to address linking obstacles and document linkage rates.

扩展当前人口调查的联系：将 1976 年至 1988 年的月度数据联系起来的障碍和解决方案》（Expending Current Population Survey Linkages: Obstacles and Solutions for Linking Monthly Data from 1976 to 1988）。

当前人口调查 (CPS) 几十年来一直是美国就业和失业信息的主要来源。这些数据被社会科学家和政策制定者广泛用于研究劳动力参与、贫困和其他优先主题。CPS 的一个未得到充分利用的特点是其短期面板部分。本文讨论了在 1976-1988 年期间，在链接基本月度数据以及将三月基本月度数据与年度社会和经济（ASEC）补充数据链接时所遇到的独特挑战。我们介绍了解决链接障碍的策略，并记录了链接率。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic and Social Measurement (JESM) is a quarterly journal that is concerned with the investigation of all aspects of production, distribution and use of economic and other societal statistical data, and with the use of computers in that context. JESM publishes articles that consider the statistical methodology of economic and social science measurements. It is concerned with the methods and problems of data distribution, including the design and implementation of data base systems and, more generally, computer software and hardware for distributing and accessing statistical data files. Its focus on computer software also includes the valuation of algorithms and their implementation, assessing the degree to which particular algorithms may yield more or less accurate computed results. It addresses the technical and even legal problems of the collection and use of data, legislation and administrative actions affecting government produced or distributed data files, and similar topics. The journal serves as a forum for the exchange of information and views between data producers and users. In addition, it considers the various uses to which statistical data may be put, particularly to the degree that these uses illustrate or affect the properties of the data. The data considered in JESM are usually economic or social, as mentioned, but this is not a requirement; the editorial policies of JESM do not place a priori restrictions upon the data that might be considered within individual articles. Furthermore, there are no limitations concerning the source of the data.
