New NLSY Kinship Links and Longitudinal/Cross-Generational Models: Cognition and Fertility Research

项目摘要/摘要 该项目使用了三个主要的国家纵向调查的档案数据 青年(NLSY)数据集，用于创建新的数据结构、维护和分发这些数据 结构提供给其他研究团队，并进行研究。该项目旨在使用 完善的数据管理和统计方法以开发新的亲属关系链接结构 在NLSY97中；匹配NLSY79、NLSYC/YA和NLSY97数据集的一部分；推向市场 并为行为遗传学、家族学等领域的研究人员提供数据流通和用户服务支持 研究和人口学、发展心理学、经济学和其他使用 NLSY家庭结构；并利用亲属关系进行复杂的实证分析 链接和数据集匹配。这些项目利用了我们过去20多年的经验 在NLSY文件中定义和使用亲属关系链接，特别是扩展早期NIH资助的 侧重于NLSY79和NLSYC/YA数据集的研究项目。该产品是 建议的研究将通过在线和电子邮件发布NLSY亲属关系链接，文件包括 数据集匹配，以及开放源码编码、算法和插图 在研究和计算环境中使用这些资源。这些活动是 与拟议项目的头两年有关。在1.5-3.0年度，我们会进行 利用新开发的NLSY的几个研究中的实证研究项目 研究认知发展和生育结果的数据结构。

Project Summary/Abstract This project uses archival data from the three primary National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) datasets to create new data structures, to maintain and distribute those data structures to other research teams, and to conduct research. The project is designed to use sophisticated data management and statistical methods to develop new kinship linking structure in the NLSY97; to match portions of the NLSY79, NLSYC/YA, and NLSY97 datasets; to market and circulate data and provide user service support to researchers in behavior genetics, family studies and demography, developmental psychology, economics, and other disciplines who use the NLSY family structure; and to conduct sophisticated empirical analyses using the kinship links and dataset matches. These projects take advantage of our 20+ years of past experience defining and using kinship links in the NLSY files, and in particular extend an earlier NIH funded research project that has focused on the NLSY79 and NLSYC/YA datasets. The product of the proposed research will be both online and e-mail release of NLSY kinship links, files with dataset matches, as well as open-source coding and algorithms and vignettes illustrating the use of these resources in research and computing environments. These activities are associated with the first two years of the proposed project. In year 1.5-3.0, we will conduct empirical research projects in several studies that take advantage of the newly-developed NLSY data structures to study cognitive development and fertility outcomes.
