Integrated Samples of European Censuses

National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, R01 HD047283. Principal Investigators:  Robert McCaa, Steven Ruggles, Miriam King, Deborah Levison, Matthew Sobek, Trent Alexander and Albert Esteve.

This proposal seeks funding to create harmonized and documented samples of over 50 Western and Eastern European censuses.  With over 70 million records spanning a forty-year period, the new database will allow social scientists to make comparisons across European nations during decades of dramatic change. Coupled with data from other IPUMS projects, this information will allow innovative comparative research across time and space.
