Abstract

The Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) is the most widely used type of Current Population Survey (CPS) data, but it is cumbersome to use the ASEC as part of a longitudinal CPS panel, especially linking to non-March months. In this paper, we detail the challenges associated with linking the ASEC to monthly CPS data, outline the creation of an identifier that links the ASEC and the March Basic Monthly data from 1989 through 2017, and provide substantive examples that illustrate the value of combining the ASEC with monthly data. The variable, MARBASECID, which we created to link ASEC and March monthly CPS data, represents a significant contribution to social and economic data infrastructure, saving individual researchers from having to duplicate the effort required to create linkages between ASEC and monthly CPS data.

将《年度社会和经济补编》作为当前人口调查小组的一部分。

年度社会和经济补编（ASEC）是当前人口调查（CPS）数据中使用最广泛的类型，但将 ASEC 作为纵向 CPS 面板的一部分使用非常麻烦，尤其是与非 3 月月份的链接。在本文中，我们将详细介绍将 ASEC 与 CPS 月度数据联系起来所面临的挑战，概述如何创建一个标识符，将 ASEC 与 1989 年至 2017 年的三月基本月度数据联系起来，并提供实例说明将 ASEC 与月度数据结合起来的价值。我们创建的 MARBASECID 变量可将 ASEC 与 3 月份的 CPS 月度数据联系起来，它是对社会和经济数据基础设施的重大贡献，使研究人员不必重复创建 ASEC 与 CPS 月度数据之间的联系。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic and Social Measurement (JESM) is a quarterly journal that is concerned with the investigation of all aspects of production, distribution and use of economic and other societal statistical data, and with the use of computers in that context. JESM publishes articles that consider the statistical methodology of economic and social science measurements. It is concerned with the methods and problems of data distribution, including the design and implementation of data base systems and, more generally, computer software and hardware for distributing and accessing statistical data files. Its focus on computer software also includes the valuation of algorithms and their implementation, assessing the degree to which particular algorithms may yield more or less accurate computed results. It addresses the technical and even legal problems of the collection and use of data, legislation and administrative actions affecting government produced or distributed data files, and similar topics. The journal serves as a forum for the exchange of information and views between data producers and users. In addition, it considers the various uses to which statistical data may be put, particularly to the degree that these uses illustrate or affect the properties of the data. The data considered in JESM are usually economic or social, as mentioned, but this is not a requirement; the editorial policies of JESM do not place a priori restrictions upon the data that might be considered within individual articles. Furthermore, there are no limitations concerning the source of the data.
