The PSC Reprint Series is a collection of published articles that were written by PSC researchers for scholarly journals in economics, sociology, and demography. The series covers spans the Center's history, with the earliest article written by Amos Hawley for a 1959 issue of the Journal of the American Institute of Planners. It reflects both the Center's research specialties and the researchers who have been associated with the Center since its founding by Ronald Freedman in 1961. Most of the papers in this series result from the analysis of early release preliminary datasets from the first waves of data collection on the studies. The primary purpose for these papers was to analyze data quality and to inform the next round of data collection on areas that need improvement.
All papers using the datasets are eligible for inclusion into our series.
All papers submitted for inclusion into the series undergo editorial review prior to acceptance.
