Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) Microdata Users' Workshop

Welcome to the CE Microdata Users’ Workshop Webpage!

Thank You For A Highly Successful 2011 Workshop

The CE program hosted its first annual workshop in July 2006. At each event, sessions are geared to microdata users of all levels of experience, from new and novice users to seasoned experts. Participants receive both "hands on" instruction on how to compute results from the microdata, and attend presentations describing both methodology and results of recent research. Starting as a two-day event, the workshop was expanded to three days in 2009 to better suit the needs of attendees as expressed in feedback sessions held at the conclusion of each workshop. In addition, since 2010, the workshop has featured individual appointments for users of any experience level (new to expert) to discuss their project or proposal with knowledgeable CE staff members.

The seventh workshop is being planned for July 18-20, 2012. As always, the workshop will be free of charge to all attendees. The only requirement will be to submit a completed registration form (when available) so that the organizers can better plan the event. Periodic updates on the workshop will be added in the future, along with links to papers presented at previous workshops (when available). In the meantime, for reference, the final schedule (PDF) for the 2011 workshop is available online, along with a published report (PDF) on the 2010 workshop.
