Abstract

The U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) celebrated its 50^th anniversary in 2018. Initially designed to assess the nation's progress in combatting poverty, PSID's scope broadened quickly to a variety of topics and fields of inquiry. To date, sociologists are the second-most frequent users of PSID data after economists. Here, we describe the ways in which PSID's history reflects shifts in social science scholarship and funding priorities over half a century, take stock of the most important sociological breakthroughs it facilitated, in particular those relying on the longitudinal structure of the data, and critically assess the unique advantages and limitations of the PSID and surveys like it for today's sociological scholarship.

纵向革命：收入动态面板研究 50 年里程碑上的社会学研究。

2018 年，美国收入动态面板研究（PSID）迎来了 50 周年纪念。PSID 最初旨在评估国家在消除贫困方面的进展，其范围迅速扩大到各种主题和研究领域。迄今为止，社会学家是 PSID 数据的第二大用户，仅次于经济学家。在此，我们描述了 PSID 的历史如何反映了半个世纪以来社会科学学术研究和资助重点的变化，总结了 PSID 所促进的最重要的社会学突破，特别是那些依赖于纵向数据结构的突破，并批判性地评估了 PSID 和类似调查对于当今社会学学术研究的独特优势和局限性。
