A Longitudinal View of Economic Mobility in the Nineteenth Century U.S.

9309689菲里这项研究的目的是创建一个新的美国人数据集，将1850年、1860年和1870年的联邦人口普查联系起来。尽管在过去25年里，学者们对收入动态小组研究和国家纵向调查等纵向数据集的兴趣大大增加，但很少有可比的历史数据集让我们能够跟踪个人几十年的经历。最近创建了1850年和1870年联邦人口普查的索引，这使得创建这样的历史数据集成为可能。在这个项目中，将创建一个样本，从最近为1850年人口普查到1860年人口普查创建的公共样本链接到土著出生的美国人，并在之前的一项研究中分析他们的经济流动性与移民流动性的比较。此外，移民样本和土生土长的新样本也将与1870年的人口普查挂钩。这一新数据集的创建对于有兴趣了解经济流动性动态以及1850年至1870年期间美国各种群体如何在经济上取得进步的学者来说，将是非常宝贵的。1850年至1870年是工业化和城市化快速增长的时期。***

9309689 Ferrie The purpose of this research is create a new data set of Americans linked across the 1850, 1860, and 1870 federal censuses. Though the interest of scholars in longitudinal data sets such as the Panel Study on Income Dynamics and the National Longitudinal Surveys has grown enormously over the past twenty five years, there are few comparable historical data sets that allow us to follow the experiences of individuals over several decades. The recent creation of indexes to the 1850 and 1870 federal censuses makes it possible to create such historical data sets. In this project, a sample of native-born Americans linked from a recently created Public Sample for the 1850 census to the 1860 census will be created and their economic mobility compared to mobility of immigrants analyzed in a previous study. In addition, the sample of immigrants and the new sample of native born will also be linked to the 1870 census. The creation of this new data set will be invaluable to scholars interested in understanding the dynamics of economic mobility and how various groups progressed economically in the U.S. from 1850 to 1870, a period characterized by the rapid growth of industrialization and urbanization. ***
