>>Hi -- I was recently talking with Victor Fuchs about my husband and I
>>spending some time at NBER's California offices this winter and
>>discussing work we currently have underway working with
>>administrative data from the Ministry of Education on school
>>performance of children and data from the Ministry of Family services
>>and housing for families receiving social assistance. We basically
>>have longitudinal linkable data at the individual level on the entire
>>population of Manitoba Canada -- 1 million people.
>>
>>I was browsing the NBER website and your children's group has done
>>some very interesting work in both the educational testing area and
>>the welfare area. Les and I will be in Boston in october --
>>visiting a daughter at exeter -- and I wondered if this might be an
>>opportunity to meet with any of your group who might be interested in
>>the research potential of these data. We should have Oct 26th free.
>>
>>
>>I'll attach a description of a project we are currently working on
>>and a report we just released focussing on educational
>>outcomes -- our next report in the fall will look at educational
>>outcomes for children in families receiving income assistance.
