The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is the world’s longest running household panel survey.  Beginning in 1968, it has collected data on the same families and their descendants, making it the cornerstone of data infrastructure for empirically based social science research.  In 2018, the PSID celebrates 50 years of data collection.

Because of its long history and unique design of following adult children as they form their own households, PSID is uniquely positioned to address the next generation of emerging social and behavioral research questions and related policy issues.  In a sense, the PSID can be viewed as America’s family tree and its interaction with society.  The breadth of topics that the PSID can be used to address is vast and includes: income, consumption and wealth, family formation and dissolution, health and well-being, the interplay between economic, social, and health outcomes over the life course and across generations, the effects of early life events on later life economic, health, and the changing dynamics of economic status and poverty dynamics. This session will focus on the breadth of data available in the PSID to evaluate the health and economic well-being of families, from health mobility to health insurance, and food security to life-time health of children
