Microdata Panel Data And Public Policy: National And Cross-National Perspectives, Richard V. Burkhauser
Microdata Panel Data And Public Policy: National And Cross-National Perspectives, Richard V. Burkhauser
Center for Policy Research
This paper focuses on the movement of data-based social policy analysis from a single-country cross-section frame to a multi-country panel frame. It provides examples of policy insights this movement to panel data has permitted, both with respect to economic well-being and behavior--using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), the British Household Panel Study (BHPS), the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). It also suggests fruitful areas for future panel data-based policy research.
