The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 Cohort (NLSY97) dataset include two sources of information about respondents' high school experiences: self-reports from annual interviews with individuals throughout their high school years, and abstracted information from their high school transcripts. Although the transcripts and interview data were designed to complement one another, their co-existence offers the opportunity to compare interview and transcript data as alternative sources for some key pieces of data about educational experience. In this paper, we describe the two types of data collected from these sources and assess the concordance of some measures. We conclude with some comments about the relative merits and weaknesses of each type of data for measuring different aspects of high school experience.

Multiyear Nonfatal Work Injury Rates

Longitudinal data (editor: NLSY79) indicate a higher rate of nonfatal workplace injuries than might be expected from annual statistics; less educated workers, whose jobs often involve considerable physical activity, have a substantial risk of on-the-job injury.

Workers' Compensation "Reforms" and Benefit Claiming
Working Paper, U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Washington DC, April 2004.

In the 1990s, states passed a variety of laws to stem a rapid rise in workers' compensation insurance costs, by raising the cost and reducing the expected benefit to a worker of filing a claim. In this paper, we first develop a model of benefit claiming with heterogeneous injury severity, costly claiming, and uncertain benefit payment. The model predicts that raising the cost or reducing the expected benefit from filing a claim would result in fewer, but on average more severe claims being filed. Using a multivariate difference in differences technique and data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth - 1979, we then empirically assess the impact of the laws on injuries, claims, and benefits. We find no evidence that legislative changes to restrict doctor choice, to reduce the compensability of injuries or to detect fraud had a measurable impact on injury or claim incidence, claim duration, or benefit receipt. However, we do find evidence that workers respond to economic costs and benefits in deciding to file claims. Benefit claiming is positively associated with the generosity of benefits, but negatively associated with the worker's wage (measuring a cost of claim filing). Also, consistent with the theory, more generous benefits and lower wages are associated with shorter average claim durations, possibly because claims are filed for less severe injuries.

The incidence of telephone interviewing has been increasing in successive rounds of NLSY97. There are concerns about the accuracy of responses to sensitive questions when the interview is conducted by telephone compared to when these questions are self-administered as part of an in-person interview. This study explores the impact of interview mode on respondents' willingness to reveal sensitive information in NLSY97 round 4 and round 5. The dependent measures for this study include sex behavior, smoking, drug use, destroying, stealing, attacking and arrest. Within each round, controlling for the differences in demographic characteristics, respondents tend to underreport negative behaviors on most SAQ items when interviews are conducted by telephone. They are also less willing to respond to these sensitive questions, resulting in more missing data. We also linked the two rounds together by looking at how individual respondents responded to the same questions in round 4 and round 5. The results show that for respondents who did not switch interview mode across rounds, the distributions of response differences do not differ much regardless of whether the interviews were conducted consistently in-person or by phone. If the respondents did switch interview modes across rounds, the distribution of response differences are significantly different for some sensitive items, depending on whether the switch is from in-person to phone or the other way round. This evidence also supports the existence of interview mode effects.
