Oversampling the Low-Income Population in the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)
Working Paper Number: SEHSD-WP1991-16 or SIPP-WP-160
The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) is a nationally representative survey. It is designed to provide comprehensive information that reflects the financial situation of persons, families, and households in the United States (except persons in institutions). Interviews for the first SIPP sample panel (1984 panel) began in October 1983. Later panels (1985-1991) began in February of each calendar year. The SIPP has an overlapping panel design that allows combining panels for multi-panel estimation covering the rune period.
