HRS/AHEAD Working Paper Series (1994- )

Most of the papers in this series result from the analysis of early release preliminary datasets from the first waves of data collection on the HRS/AHEAD studies. The primary purpose for these papers was to analyze data quality and to inform the next round of data collection on areas that need improvement. The series includes papers from four early results workshops (HRS1, HRS Minority Perspectives, AHEAD1, and HRS2). All papers using the datasets are eligible for inclusion in the series. Papers should be submitted to the HRS/AHEAD office (See the HRS/AHEAD website for more information on how to submit papers to the series). All papers undergo editorial review prior to acceptance into the series. Please note that the HRS/AHEAD staff has not attempted to validate data or statistical analyses contained in the working papers.
