The addition of a new direct question yielded improved data in 2007.

Prior to 2007, children who were living with two unmarried parents could not be linked to both parents and were tabulated as the child of either a single mother or a single father.

Conference: U.S. Census - PSID Conference on the Event History Calendar Method
The PSID hosted a two-day conference on the Event History Calendar Method for the U.S. Census Bureau on December 5-6, 2007 in Washington, DC. The goal of the conference was to provide scientific expertise to the Census in the enhancement of the SIPP in the area of event history calendars as a data collection tool.

– Can the EHC provide similar detail?
– Can any annual survey facilitate comparable recall quality?
– Do the inconclusive/negative findings in prior EHC tests for AFDC/TANF and Food Stamps preclude the use of this method?
– How do SIPP data collected via EHC compare with questionnaire data?
