Establishing a comprehensive census of undergraduate economics curricula: Foundational and special requirements for major programs in the U.S. (ICPSR 131363)
Released/updated on: 2021-02-01
Time period: 2017-08-01--2018-06-30
This study is the first of a series of studies, collectively embodying a multiphase mixed methods design. The overall objective of these studies is to explore and address a variety of issues and features of the discipline of economics, particularly as they relate to and represent past present and future factors of globalization, education, citizenship, and society. This is done by collecting and analyzing data on numerous aspects of the undergraduate economics curriculum, economics as a discipline, and economics as applied in the real world. The overall purpose of these studies is to inform ongoing debates concerning the future of the discipline of economics and how it is taught, by examining and creating paradigms and methods that may be of aide. Additionally these studies collectively aim to outline, and in small ways develop, potential technological and organizational solutions for detailed longitudinal curriculum tracking. The frameworks employed and developed in these studies may eventually be scaled and adapted for all sorts of curricula. Ideally, the completion of this study’s overall objective yields practical insights and tools that empower faculty and departments, in economics and eventually in general, to better understand and design their own curriculum. This immediate study fills gaps in and updates data on the curriculum of undergraduate economics majors in U.S. institutions, while also establishing a baseline data set for future studies to build on. A qualitative census methodology is adapted and employed to explore how various institutional and program factors relate to certain types of major program requirements. Descriptive statistics are used for analysis, primarily to allow for comparisons to previous studies. In sum, the purpose of the data collected and analyzed in this census is to give a glimpse into the current state of the undergraduate economics curriculum in the U.S., and to inform the qualitative, quantitative, and transformative studies that are to follow in this multiphase series.

Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey (L.A.FANS), Los Angeles Neighborhood Services and Characteristics Data (L.A.NSC), 1980-2010 (ICPSR 37277)
Released/updated on: 2019-07-22
Geographic coverage: United States, Los Angeles, California
Time period: 1980-01-01--2010-12-31
This study, known as the Los Angeles Neighborhood Services and Characteristics data (L.A.NSC) includes data from governmental and business data sources on the characteristics of census tracts in Los Angeles County from 1980 to 2010. The unit of analysis is 1990 census tract (census tracts using 1990 census tract boundaries). The data also include crosswalks for census boundaries across census years. It is public use data.
The L.A.NSC data were assembled by the L.A.FANS projects to be used with L.A.FANS survey data restricted data versions 2, 2.5, and 3 all of which contain 1990 census tract numbers which can be linked with data in this file. However, the L.A.NSC files includes ALL census tracts in Los Angeles County, not just the 65 tracts sampled by L.A.FANS. Thus, the L.A.NSC data can be analyzed on their own without linkage to L.A.FANS survey data and provide longitudinal data on the characteristics of Los Angeles census tracts over a 30 year period.
Additional information on the data is available at the RAND website. See also:

Census Quality Survey Public Use Data File, 2001: [United States] (ICPSR 3901)
Released/updated on: 2011-06-14
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2001-01-01--2001-12-31
This study was designed with the primary objective of producing a data file that could be used to bridge between the "single" race distribution in the 1990 Census and other household surveys and the "one or more races" distribution in Census 2000. The Census Quality Survey (CQS) was a nationally representative sample of about 55,000 households. Responding to a mailback questionnaire, one-half of the sample household respondents were asked to "mark one race," and during a telephone recontact, these respondents were asked to "select one or more races." For the other half of the sample households, the reverse procedure was used. Data from these two contacts may be used to produce "bridging parameters" to compare race distributions collected under methodologies that request either one race or one or more races. In addition, Census 2000 records were matched to their respective CQS records (with a match success rate of 86 percent). The matched records may also be used to produce bridging estimates.

Census of Population and Housing, 2000 [United States]: 1998 Dress Rehearsal, P.L. 94-171 Redistricting Data, Geographic Files for 11 Counties in South Carolina, Sacramento, California, and Menominee County, Wisconsin (ICPSR 2913)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: Sacramento, United States, Columbia (South Carolina), California, Wisconsin, South Carolina
Time period: 1998-01-01--1998-12-31
The 1998 Dress Rehearsal was conducted as a prelude to the United States Census of Population and Housing, 2000, in the following locations: (1) Columbia, South Carolina, and surrounding areas, including the town of Irmo and the counties of Chester, Chesterfield, Darlington, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lancaster, Lee, Marlboro, Newberry, Richland, and Union, (2) Sacramento, California, and (3) Menominee County, Wisconsin, including the Menominee American Indian Reservation. This collection contains map files showing various levels of geography (in the form of Census Tract Outline Maps, Voting District/State Legislative District Outline Maps, and County Block Maps), TIGER/Line digital files, and Corner Point files for the Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal sites. The Corner Point data files contain the bounding latitude and longitude coordinates for each individual map sheet of the 1998 Dress Rehearsal Public Law (P.L.) 94-171 map products. These files include a sheet identifier, minimum and maximum longitude, minimum and maximum latitude, and the map scale (integer value) for each map sheet. The latitude and longitude coordinates are in decimal degrees and expressed as integer values with six implied decimal places. There is a separate Corner Point File for each of the three map types: County Block Map, Census Tract Outline Map, and Voting District/State Legislative District Outline Map. Each of the three map file types is provided in two formats: Portable Document Format (PDF), for viewing, and Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HP-GL) format, for plotting. The County Block Maps show the greatest detail and the most complete set of geographic information of all the maps. These large-scale maps depict the smallest geographic entities for which the Census Bureau presents data -- the census blocks -- by displaying the features that delineate them and the numbers that identify them. These maps show the boundaries, names, and codes for American Indian/Alaska Native areas, county subdivisions, places, census tracts, and, for this series, the geographic entities that the states delineated in Phase 2, Voting District Project, of the Redistricting Data Program. The HP-GL version of the County Block Maps is broken down into index maps and map sheets. The map sheets cover a small area, and the index maps are composed of multiple map sheets, showing the entire area. The intent of the County Block Map series is to provide a map for each county on the smallest possible number of map sheets at the maximum practical scale, dependent on the area size of the county and the density of the block pattern. The latter affects the display of block numbers and feature identifiers. The Census Tract Outline Maps show the boundaries and numbers of census tracts, and name the features underlying the boundaries. These maps also show the boundaries and names of counties, county subdivisions, and places. They identify census tracts in relation to governmental unit boundaries. The mapping unit is the county. These large-format maps are produced to support the P.L. 94-171 program and all other 1998 Dress Rehearsal data tabulations. The Voting District/State Legislative District Outline Maps show the boundaries and codes for voting districts as delineated by the states in Phase 2, Voting District Project, of the Redistricting Data Program. The features underlying the voting district boundaries are shown, as well as the names of these features. Additionally, for states that submit the information, these maps show the boundaries and codes for state legislative districts and their underlying features. These maps also show the boundaries of and names of American Indian/Alaska Native areas, counties, county subdivisions, and places. The scale of the district maps is optimized to keep the number of map sheets for each area to a minimum, but the scale and number of map sheets will vary by the area size of the county and the voting districts and state legislative districts delineated by the states. The Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal TIGER/Line Files consist of line segments representing physical features and governmental and statistical boundaries. The files contain information distributed over a series of record types for the spatial objects of a county. These TIGER/Line Files are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) database. While the geographic coverage for a single TIGER/Line File is usually a county or statistical equivalent entity, the 1998 Dress Rehearsal TIGER/Line Files include only those entities included in the Dress Rehearsal with the coverage area based on January 1, 1998, legal boundaries. The Census's TIGER database represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts. However, each 1998 Dress Rehearsal TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent dataset. The TIGER/Line Files for each distinct geographic area can also be combined to show the entire area that was included in the Dress Rehearsal for that site. There are a total of 17 record types in the TIGER/Line Files, including the basic data record, the shape coordinate points, and geographic codes, that can be used with appropriate software to prepare maps. A complete list of codes for the record types can be found in Chapter 6 of the Technical Documentation for TIGER/Line Files (Part 603).

Census of Population and Housing, 1990 [United States]: Public Law 94-171, 1986 Test Census of Central Los Angeles County (ICPSR 8882)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: Mississippi, United States, Los Angeles, California
Time period: 1986-01-01--1986-12-31
In preparation for the 1990 Census of Population and Housing, test censuses were conducted in central Los Angeles County and in east central Mississippi in order to test census procedures in representative urban and rural settings. Several goals were identified for the 1986 test censuses including (1) the examination of new techniques for automating questionnaire processing, (2) the production of maps from an automated geographic database, (3) the testing of a new questionnaire design, and (4) a review of adjustment methodology. This data collection offers complete-count data for central Los Angeles County on race and Spanish origin for total persons and for those 18 years and over.
