7 Data
This lab doesn’t collect fresh data. We use archival data that others have collected.
7.1 Sources in general
7.1.1 Publicly Available Data
I have a sampling listed here. The main list is in the [Secondary Dataset Repositories][https://osf.io/ra8yg/wiki/home/]
7.1.1.1 University Archives
- [Harvard Dataverse][http://dataverse.harvard.edu/]
- [Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR)][https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb]
7.1.1.2 Government Data
7.1.1.2.1 NLSY
[National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth (NLSY)] contains 4 generations of data and a replication sample that is nationally representative of the united states. It’s got tons of good stuff in it. And is a staple data set in the lab for sibling comparison designs.
The NLSY79 topical guide is a good place to get started.
