NLSY79 Wealth Data Evaluation Working Paper, Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, July 1997 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Data Quality/Consistency; Nonresponse; Wealth Researchers know relatively little about the way people gather wealth. This paper provides a foundation for understanding wealth trends by investigating the data quality of a little used portion of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort or NLSY79. To date, no data quality investigation has been performed on the NLSY79's wealth information. To remedy this defect, the paper first overviews the wealth data collection and analyzes its strengths and weaknesses. Then the data's quality is investigated by checking the importance of common problems, such as nonresponse, and how NLSY79 results compare with other data sets. Lastly, the creation of a longitudinal net asset series is described and basic wealth results are presented. |
