Introduction to the Journal of Human Resources Early Results Issue Journal of Human Resources 36,4 (Autumn 2001): 627. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3069635 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Longitudinal Data Sets; Longitudinal Surveys (Special Issue on Early Results from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 Cohort). This issue contains papers presented at the National Longitudinal Survey 1997 Early Results Conference held in Washington, DC on November 18-19, 1999. The NLSY97 is the latest entry in the Bureau of Labor Statistics longitudinal survey program. Like the heavily analyzed NLSY79, the 1997 Cohort collects information on the transition from school to work and from adolescence into adult- hood. While sharing many design features as the NLSY79, as these papers illustrate, the NLSY97 also contains many enhancements and novelties as well. The introduction to the issue, "The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 " Cohort" by Robert Michael and Michael Pergamit describes the content and initial fielding effort for the new cohort. The remaining six papers investigate a particular behavioral or policy issue using the NLSY97 data. The papers were chosen to illustrate the breath of the survey, especially on topics of interest to the JHR readership. More than 30 papers were presented at the conference. Other papers appear in September 10, 2001 issue of the Monthly Labor Review and in Social Awakenings: Adolescent Behavior as Adulthood Approaches, edited by Robert T. Michael and published by Russell Sage Press (New York: 2001). |
