SIPP Data -- Reading Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) Data, using SAS, SPSS, or Stata
The SAS, SPSS, and Stata files were created by
Jean Roth at
the NBER to make easier access to the Census'
Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) Data Files.
Recent data files are also available at the Census and BLS
Data Download page.
Also, the Census has new
and old data extraction tools
for some of the more recent files.
Internal users can access the programs and data in a UNIX shell at /homes/data/sipp, or
on an NBER PC at Network Neighborhood --> NBER --> home --> data --> sipp
To download files in Internet Explorer, right click on them and select "Save Target As...".
If you want to print the files, cut out the parts you don't want first. Each file has
thousands of lines.
Updates and changes.
