Assessing the Results of Microdata Access

NORC at the University of Chicago is pleased to invite you to a key workshop on microdata access November 18, 2009, from 8:30am to 4:00pm, hosted by the USDA's Economic Research Service (1800 M Street NW) and National Agricultural Statistics Service.

The goals of this workshop are twofold: (1) to highlight the value added of this form of microdata and metadata access and (2) develop new directions for the enclave. It will thus feature both the research achievements and collaborations that have occurred in its three year history, and provide an opportunity for data users, producers, and others among the research community to provide suggestions about new approaches.

Keynote: Katherine Wallman, Chief Statistician, OMB
