Information session on data available at the Census Research Data Center (RDC) at UCLA and how to access it:

Data availability of five types of confidential government data available in the RDC

[1] Business Data (Economic Census, Annual Survey of Manufactures, Longitudinal Foreign Trade Transactions Database, Commodity Flow Survey, Business Research and Development and Innovation Survey)

[2] Individual Data (CPS and SIPP merged to longitudinal earnings records, Decennial Census and American Community Survey with neighborhood IDs)

[3] Administrative Data (Longitudinal Business Database, Longitudinal Employer-Household Database, Census Numident, UMETRICS).

[4] Health and Injury Data (Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, National Health Interview Survey)

[5] Justice Data (National Crime Victimization Survey)

See https://www.census.gov/about/adrm/fsrdc/about/available_data.html. I will also talk about how to write a proposal for Census Data, and the typical duration to data access.

In addition, I will talk about administrative and survey German data available on firms, employment, and unemployment on campus. This data is quite rich, and relatively easily accessible:

[1] Worker-firm data (matched employer-employee panel covering over 35 years)

[2]  Unemployment insurance and training data (daily unemployment spell data, data on labor market programs, data on welfare receipt)

[3] Survey data on workers with administrative firm and worker data (e.g., National Educational Panel Study, refugee survey, mental health at work survey)

[4] Survey data on firms linked with administrative

and worker data (e.g., structure of earnings survey, management and organizational practices survey)
