CORE--NATIONAL COMPARATIVE DATABASE

来自三个具有全国代表性的纵向数据集的数据文件将 将允许研究人员比较相关工作 老年男女的行为、健康和经济幸福感 美国与德国和英国的同行。最重要的是 目前可用的国际数据集，没有一个能提供更好的匹配 与美国进行跨国比较，而不是德国 社会经济小组(GSOEP)和英国家庭小组研究(BHPS)。 这些数据文件在设计上与收入专题小组研究非常相似 动力学(PSID)。 我们将产生始终如一、无错误的英语公共使用 GSOEP的波；产生一致和无误差的PSID波- GSOEP等效数据文件，并将此文件扩展为包括英国 家庭小组研究(BHPS)；促进使用GSOEP和 项目研究人员通过协助创建PSID-GSOEP-BHPS 研究和充当数据所需的特定子文件 项目中使用的所有其他数据集的库管理员(LIS除外)和 协助为这些数据创建子文件；并协助 向一般研究界传播这两个数据集。

Datafiles from three nationally representative longitudinal datasets will be developed that will permit researchers to compare the relative work behavior, health, and economic well-being of older women and men in the United States with their counterparts in Germany and Great Britain. Of all the international datasets currently available, none offers a better match for cross-national comparisons with the United States than the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) and the British Household Panel study (BHPS). These datafiles are very similar in design to the Panel Study on Income Dynamics (PSID). We will produce consistent and error-free English Language Public Use waves of the GSOEP; produce consistent and error-free waves of the PSID- GSOEP Equivalent Data File and to extend this file to include the British Household Panel Study (BHPS); facilitate the use of the GSOEP and the PSID-GSOEP-BHPS by researchers in the projects by assisting in creating the specific subfiles necessary for their research and by acting as data librarian for all other datasets used in the projects (except LIS) and assisting in the creation of subfiles for these data; and assist in the dissemination of these two datasets to the general research community.
