This paper will identify the incidence and estimate the magnitude of data differences between the 1995 DR data collected from the SIPP/CAPI and data collected by paper and pencil interviewing (PAPI) in the concurrent 1993 panel. Our effort here is only to identify data differences because the transition of SIPP from paper and pencil to CAPI is overshadowed by other important changes in the survey design. Our reference to CAPI throughout the paper will refer to all aspects of the survey redesign. Also, our reference to PAPI will refer to the 1980 SIPP design. Results from this research will provide some information about the redesign's effect on the SIPP data and expectations for 1996. Therefore, the subject of study is the redesign of SIPP.
