DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A vast quantity of raw European census microdata for the period since the 1960s survives in machine-readable form. Most of these data, however, remain inaccessible to researchers. This proposal seeks funding to create harmonized and documented samples of over 50 Western and Eastern European censuses. These data will be made available for scholarly and educational research through a web-based data dissemination system. This project leverages previous federal investments in social science infrastructure. Grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation have laid the groundwork for the European data series by funding many of the initial costs. Those projects have underwritten the development of data cleaning and sampling procedures, data conversion and dissemination software, and design protocols for data and documentation. We have already made arrangements to obtain raw microdata files, internal documentation, and redistribution agreements for over 60 censuses of 17 European countries with populations totaling one-half billion people. As a result, the new public-use microdata samples for Europe will be highly cost-effective. The following tasks must be carried out to capitalize on these past investments and make the European data widely available to researchers: draw new samples of each census; reformat and clean the samples; impose confidentiality protections; recode variables into existing harmonized coding systems and develop new coding designs optimized for Europe; allocate missing and inconsistent data values; create a set of consistent constructed variables; develop harmonized English-language documentation; convert all documentation to the Data Documentation Initiative metadata standard; and improve and maintain the web-based data access system. With over 70 million records spanning a forty-year period, the new database will allow social scientists to make comparisons across European nations during decades of dramatic change. Coupled with data from other IPUMS projects, this information will allow innovative comparative research across time and space. The data series will result in a substantial body of new scientific and policy-relevant research on economic transformation, demographic transition and population aging, international migration, and many other topics.

描述（由申请人提供）：自 20 世纪 60 年代以来的大量原始欧洲人口普查微观数据以机器可读的形式保存下来。然而，研究人员仍然无法访问其中大部分数据。该提案寻求资金来创建 50 多个西欧和东欧人口普查的统一且记录的样本。这些数据将通过基于网络的数据传播系统用于学术和教育研究。该项目利用了之前联邦对社会科学基础设施的投资。美国国立卫生研究院和国家科学基金会的资助为欧洲数据系列奠定了基础，为许多初始成本提供了资金。这些项目资助了数据清理和采样程序、数据转换和传播软件以及数据和文档设计协议的开发。我们已经做出安排，获取 17 个欧洲国家（人口总计 1.5 亿）的 60 多次人口普查的原始微观数据文件、内部文件和重新分配协议。因此，欧洲新的公共使用微观数据样本将具有很高的成本效益。 必须执行以下任务，以利用这些过去的投资，并使研究人员广泛获得欧洲数据：每次人口普查抽取新样本；重新格式化并清理样本；实行保密保护；将变量重新编码到现有的协调编码系统中，并开发针对欧洲优化的新编码设计；分配缺失和不一致的数据值；创建一组一致的构造变量；制定统一的英文文档；将所有文档转换为数据文档计划元数据标准；完善和维护基于网络的数据访问系统。 新数据库拥有跨越四十年的超过 7000 万条记录，社会科学家将能够对欧洲国家在数十年的巨大变化期间进行比较。与其他 IPUMS 项目的数据相结合，这些信息将允许跨时间和空间的创新比较研究。该数据系列将产生大量新的科学和政策相关研究，涉及经济转型、人口转型和人口老龄化、国际移民以及许多其他主题。
