Product Description
Beginning in 2006, the Census Bureau embarked on a program to reengineer the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to reduce its costs and improve data quality and timeliness. The Bureau also requested the National Academies to consider the advantages and disadvantages of strategies for linking administrative records and survey data, taking account of the accessibility of relevant administrative records, the operational feasibility of linking, the quality and usefulness of the linked data, and the ability to provide access to the linked data while protecting the confidentiality of individual respondents.
In response, this volume first examines the history of SIPP and reviews the survey's purpose, value, strengths, and weaknesses. The book examines alternative uses of administrative records in a reengineered SIPP and, finally, considers innovations in SIPP design and data collection, including the proposed use of annual interviews with an event history calendar.

Product Description
While consumers are recognized as valuing market goods andservices for the activities they can construct from them in theframeworks of several disciplines, consequences of the characteristicsof goods and services they use in these activities have not been wellstudied. In this book, knowledge-yielding and conventional goods andservices are contrasted as factors in the construction of activitiesthat consumers engage in when they are not in the workplace. Consumersare seen as deciding on non-work activities and the inputs to theseactivities according to their objectives, and the values andaccumulated skills they hold. It is suggested that knowledge contentin these activities can be efficient for consumer objectives and alsohave important externalities through its effect on productivity atwork and economic growth. The exposition seeks to elaborate thesepoints and contribute to multi-disciplinary dialogue on consumption.
