背景我们介绍并提供了纽约联邦储备银行/Equifax消费者信贷小组(CCP)的第一个全面比较评估，作为研究美国国内移民的有价值且未得到充分利用的数据集。相对于关于美国国内移民的其他数据源，CCP允许对移民进行非常详细的横断面和纵向分析，包括时间和地理上的分析。目的我们试图展示CCP相对于其他关于美国国内移民的数据源的比较效用和一些独特的优势。方法我们将CCP对移民的横断面和纵向估计与来自美国社区调查、当前人口调查、国税局数据、国家青年纵向调查、收入动态小组研究、和收入和项目参与度调查。结果结果确立了比较效用，并清楚地说明了CCP相对于其他数据来源在美国国内移民方面的一些独特优势。结论我们最后确定了使用CCP进行美国国内移民研究的一些有益方向，并提醒读者这些数据的优势和局限性。继续，我们对CCP进行介绍，作为一个全面的比较参考点，以促进使用这些数据未来对美国国内移民的研究。更广泛地说，考虑到传统来源的迁移数据的可用性、质量和可比性等方面的问题，本文致力于研究使用非传统数据源来研究迁移。
BACKGROUNDWe introduce and provide the first comprehensive comparative assessment of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York/Equifax Consumer Credit Panel (CCP) as a valuable and underutilized dataset for studying internal migration within the United States. Relative to other data sources on US internal migration, the CCP permits highly detailed cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of migration, both temporally and geographically.OBJECTIVEWe seek to demonstrate the comparative utility and some of the unique advantages of the CCP relative to other data sources on US internal migration.METHODSWe compare cross-sectional and longitudinal estimates of migration from the CCP to similar estimates derived from the American Community Survey, the Current Population Survey, Internal Revenue Service data, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, and the Survey of Income and Program Participation.RESULTSOur results firmly establish the comparative utility and clearly illustrate some of the unique advantages of the CCP relative to other data sources on US internal migration.CONCLUSIONSWe conclude by identifying some profitable directions for future research on US internal migration using the CCP, as well as reminding readers of the strengths and limitations of these data.CONTRIBUTIONWe provide an introduction to the CCP as a comprehensive comparative point of reference to stimulate future research on US internal migration using these data. More broadly, this paper contributes to research on the use of nontraditional data sources to study migration given well-documented problems with the availability, quality, and comparability of migration data from traditional sources.
