Abstract

For those interested in historical evidence the Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) drawn from the U.S. decennial censuses present attractive resources and among their most appealing aspects is the opportunity they offer for comparative analyses across time. In this article we focus on just this appeal: comparative use of the 1940 and 1950 PUMS....We review critically the original censuses and the samples taken from them in an effort to provide a `users guide for researchers. We identify some of the more salient features of the original 1940 and 1950 censuses describe how sampling teams drew the PUMS data sets from them and then discuss the consequences of both the original and subsequent sampling designs.

使用1940年和1950年公共使用微数据样本。

对于那些对历史证据感兴趣的人来说，从美国十年一次的人口普查中抽取的公共使用微数据样本(PUMS)提供了有吸引力的资源，其中最吸引人的方面是它们提供了跨时间比较分析的机会。在本文中，我们只关注这一诉求:1940年和1950年PUMS的比较使用....我们严格审查原始人口普查和从中抽取的样本，努力为研究人员提供“用户指南”。我们确定了1940年和1950年原始人口普查的一些更显著的特征，描述了抽样小组如何从中提取PUMS数据集，然后讨论了原始和随后的抽样设计的后果。(摘录)
