Dear NBER Children's Group Members,
Please see the below message from Martha Bailey announcing the availability
of new historical data that may be of interest to you or your students.
Dear colleagues and students,
We couldn’t be more delighted to release data the LIFE-M data (

which has been more than seven years in the making. The data can be
downloaded from OPEN ICPSR here

and
can be linked to the IPUMS census data using HISTID.
The LIFE-M project combines millions of U.S. vital records (birth,
marriage, death certificates) with census information into a longitudinal
and intergenerational micro-database. With the help of cutting-edge,
machine learning techniques, the LIFE-M data follow four generations of
Americans from birth to death. High quality training data is used to
achieve large-scale performance at high rates of precision. Birth cohorts
begin in late 1800s and include their great grandchildren born between 1915
and 1975. There is almost no work on these data, so ideal to use for a
dissertation.
Sincerely,
Martha
