Data needs for analyzing labor force status and transitions
Article Abstract:
The Survey on Income and Program Participation (SIPP) was designed to obtain within-year data concerning income, assets, employment, and transitions in program participation. The monthly Current Population Survey and the National Longitudinal Studies are designed to obtain labor force statistics for the short term and long term, respectively. Since data on unemployment must be collected by SIPP, this is the area in which its data is of most use for labor market studies. Improvements to SIPP to eliminate the 'wave-seam' problems would increase the validity and usefulness of its data for labor market study.

The future of SIPP for analyzing extended measures of well-being
Article Abstract:
Data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) may be manipulated to obtain more sophisticated measures of group well-being than the crude income and poverty-level measures available from Current Population Survey. First, SIPP data may be manipulated to obtain measures of post-income tax net income. Also, since food stamp data are also available from SIPP, the real effect of this may be estimated. Useful implementations of SIPP would provide information about housing subsidies, income from housing, credit information and supplemental hardship measures.

The future of SIPP for analyzing labor force behavior
Article Abstract:
The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) supplements the macro-economic data available from the Current Population Survey to provide useful information concerning the state of the labor market. The frequent availability of fresh SIPP data makes it better suited to the analysis of labor transitions among states and the dynamic analysis of periods of labor activity than other available surveys. The addition of local market characteristics of city or county of residence would render SIPP data more analytically useful.
