3 September, 2015

The American Statistical Association has published a press release presenting the joint research of CERGE-EI faculty member Nikolas Mittag and Bruce D. Meyer (University of Chicago).

Their research has found that linking survey data with administrative records will enable the federal government to better gauge the effectiveness of social welfare programs such as food stamps and federal housing assistance, as well as the overall reach of federal antipoverty initiatives.

Their research was presented during a session at the 2015 Joint Statistical Meetings in Seattle in early August 2015.
