 July
22, 2008We are happy to announce the availability of a new documentation file, the LIS Variable Availability Matrix. This matrix allows users to easily determine which LIS variables are available in each LIS dataset. The matrix includes the earliest LIS datasets (from the 1960s and 1970s) up through Wave VI. It will be updated regularly, as new datasets are added. For each variable, in each dataset, the following code is used: * cell is blank
this dataset was lissified using a template that does not contain this

The World Bank’s Gender and Development program and LIS will jointly sponsor a new LIS Working Paper award. The award is for papers that have a focus on gender and that include at least one middle-income country. The new award will be presented once each year to the author(s) of the best eligible LIS Working Paper submitted to LIS during the prior year. Awards will be granted for Working Papers submitted in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. Eligible papers will be peer reviewed. The review committee includes Janet Gornick (LIS), Markus Jäntti (LIS), Elena Bardasi (World Bank), and Stephen Jenkins (University of Essex). Like our other longstanding Working Paper award – the Aldi Hagenaars Award -- recipients of the Gender Research Award will receive 750 Euros, plus an invitation to serve as a faculty member, and to present the winning paper, at the following LIS Summer Workshop. Note: As of 2007, the LIS
database includes the following middle-income countries: the Czech
Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Russia, and the
Slovak Republic. LIS will be adding more middle-income countries during
the course of the award. Stay tuned for announcements of new datasets. |
