DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research teams in the United States, Britain, Canada, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden have worked in close coordination to create the North Atlantic Population Project (NAPP), a massive integrated cross-national microdatabase that provides a baseline for studies of demographic change and opens fresh paths for spatiotemporal data analysis. We now propose improvements that will multiply the power of the NAPP infrastructure. We have three major aims: (1) Triple the size of the database to approximately 365 million records, adding 40 new datasets for the period 1787 to 1930 from Albania, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, Iceland, Ireland, Germany, Norway, Mexico, Sweden, and the United States. (2) Leverage our innovative record-linkage technology to create linked national panels that will allow expanded longitudinal analyses. (3) Connect the past to the present by merging NAPP with the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS), simplifying analysis of long-run change and ensuring long-run preservation and maintenance of the database. The landscape of scientific research on the human population is shifting. It is no longer sufficient just to study the relationships among variables at a particular moment in time. Researchers around the world now recognize that to understand the large-scale processes that are transforming society, we must investigate long-term change. The goal of this project is to provide the infrastructure to make such analysis possible. NAPP will make a strategic contribution to demographic infrastructure by providing a baseline for the study of changes in the demography and health of European and North American populations. In each country, NAPP provides the earliest census microdata available. Models and descriptions based on historical experience underlie both theories of past change and projections into the future. The NAPP data provide a unique laboratory for the study of economic and demographic processes; this kind of empirical foundation is essential for testing social and economic theory. The proposed work will be carried out by a team of highly-skilled researchers with unparalleled expertise and experience in data integration and record linkage. Collaborators include leading researchers from the University of Minnesota and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, and local experts from each of the participating countries. Centralized support for international collaboration will leverage the investments of each country and allow us to create an extraordinary resource for comparative social and economic research.

描述(由申请人提供)：美国、英国、加拿大、冰岛、挪威和瑞典的研究团队密切合作，创建了北大西洋人口项目(NAPP)，这是一个庞大的综合跨国家微型数据库，为人口变化研究提供了基线，并为时空数据分析开辟了新的途径。我们现在提出的改进建议将使NAPP基础设施的能力成倍增加。我们有三个主要目标：(1)将数据库的规模扩大两倍，达到约3.65亿条记录，增加来自阿尔巴尼亚、英国、加拿大、丹麦、埃及、冰岛、爱尔兰、德国、挪威、墨西哥、瑞典和美国的40个新的1787年至1930年期间的数据集。(2)利用我们创新的记录链接技术，建立相互关联的国家小组，以便扩大纵向分析。(3)将国家行动方案与综合公共用途微观数据系列合并，简化对长期变化的分析，并确保数据库的长期保存和维护，从而将过去与现在联系起来。关于人类人口的科学研究的格局正在发生变化。仅仅研究某一特定时刻变量之间的关系已不再足够。世界各地的研究人员现在认识到，要了解正在改变社会的大规模过程，我们必须调查长期变化。这个项目的目标是提供基础设施，使这种分析成为可能。NAPP将为研究欧洲和北美人口的人口结构和健康变化提供基线，从而对人口基础设施作出战略贡献。在每个国家，NAPP提供了可用的最早的人口普查微观数据。基于历史经验的模型和描述既是过去变化的理论基础，也是对未来的预测。NAPP数据为研究经济和人口过程提供了一个独特的实验室；这种经验基础对于检验社会和经济理论至关重要。拟议的工作将由一组在数据集成和记录链接方面拥有无与伦比的专业知识和经验的高技能研究人员进行。合作者包括来自明尼苏达大学和马克斯·普朗克人口研究所的主要研究人员，以及来自每个参与国家的当地专家。对国际合作的集中支持将利用每个国家的投资，使我们能够为比较社会和经济研究创造非凡的资源。
