Summary of Chapter 19: Longitudinal panel data offer criminologists and criminal justice scholars the opportunity to investigate the causes and consequences of offending across time. One of the most popular longitudinal data sets used in the fields of criminology and criminal justice is the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). This chapter provides an overview of the NLSY97, outlines the rationale and strategy for the data collection, and describes the structure and measures included within this data set. NLSY97 researchers used a stratified multistage probability sample consisting of two phases. Phase one focused on identifying households for the screening process, which consisted of a total of 96512 households. Phase two of collection focused on identifying eligible respondents within those households. The NLSY97 contains an array of data on delinquency and criminal offending, family and peer behavior, school experiences and punishment, as well as criminal justice contact such as arrest and incarceration experiences.

Individual Differences and the Relationship between Education and Religiosity in Longitudinal versus Cross-sectional Studies

We show that the relationship between education and religiosity is positive in cross-sectional analyses and negative in longitudinal analyses. We explain this discrepancy by suggesting that the former relationship is due to the positive association of both education and religiosity with dispositional conformity, while the latter represents a causal effect of education on apostasy.

This study replicates the author's earlier (1976) results on newer data from the NLS of Young Men, discusses the distribution of earnings as opposed to wage rates, and outlines a model for the analysis of time series on individuals. The effect of schooling on wage rates is far stronger than is the effect of IQ, and this difference is even stronger when the effects of these two variables on earnings are considered. Only half of the observed variance in completed schooling is explained by family background and IQ, so other forces affecting schooling remain to be identified. In the late 1960s, young black men were completing more schooling than white of similar background and ability.

In this paper, we illustrate the potential efficacy of these types of analyses. The causal question we address concerns the effects on intelligence test scores of a particular intervention that provided very high quality childcare for children with low birth weights.We have data from the randomized experiment performed to evaluate the causal effect of this intervention, as well as observational data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth on children not exposed to the intervention. Using these two datasets, we compare several estimates of the treatment effect from the observational data to the estimate of the treatment effect from the experiment, which we treat as the gold standard. ...We also demonstrate the use of propensity scores with data that has been multiply imputed to handle pretreatment and post-treatment missingness. To our knowledge, these other constructed observational studies performed analyses using only units with fully observed data.

The income gradient in political participation is a widely accepted stylized fact. Based on nine panel datasets from six countries, this research note asks whether income changes trigger short-term effects on political involvement. Irrespective of indicator, specification, and method (hybrid random-effects models, fixed-effects models with lags and leads, and error-correction models) there are few significant short-term effects of income changes. In conjunction with earlier research, this finding suggests that the income gradient in political participation is likely to reflect stable differences between rich and poor voters emerging early in the life-course.

Objectives: The objectives of the study are to test if weight gain in pregnancy is associated with high birthweight and overweight/obesity in early, middle and late childhood and whether these associations differ by maternal race/ethnicity.

Methods: Mother-child dyads (n = 7539) were included from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, a nationally representative cohort study in the USA (1979-2012). Log-binomial regression models were used to analyse associations between weight gain and the outcomes: high birthweight (>4000 g) and overweight/obesity at ages 2-5, 6-11 and 12-19 years.

Results: Excessive weight gain was positively associated, and inadequate weight gain was negatively associated with high birthweight after confounder adjustment (P < 0.05). Only excessive weight gain was associated with overweight in early, middle and late childhood. These associations were not significant in Hispanics or Blacks although racial/ethnic interaction was only significant ages 12-19 years (P = 0.03).
