Analyzing the dynamics of program participation with data from the SIPP
Article Abstract:
The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) allows two types of longitudinal analyses of government program participation which are valuable from a policy standpoint. One kind considers patterns of program participation, the other concerns the analysis of transition onto or off of those programs. SIPP is particularly suitable for longitudinal studies in that it uses a monthly accounting period recorded over time and includes wealth and income data representative of the entire population.

Priorities for improving data on income and well-being from survey and administrative records: a role for SIPP
Article Abstract:
With some reorganization the Survey of Income and Program Participation can become the foundation of better measurement of standard of living. The accepted use of the Current Population Survey should be supplemented by the sort of post-tax data available from SIPP. By lengthening panel rotation, SIPP would prove more useful for spell and duration analyses. Spell analysis should focus on joblessness, welfare receipt and poverty.

Alternative scientific designs for the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)
Article Abstract:
The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) has been collecting data since 1983 on personal income, poverty and public program eligibility. A great deal has been learned from this data, but there are serious flaws in the information-gathering methodology which should be rethought. Four different designs are possible as future adaptations for SIPP each of which varies sample characteristics and outcome measures.
