This paper explores the possible development and uses of data sets that combine demographic data-both survey and population census-with economic census administrative information. It describes the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and various pilot projects to augment the SIPP data with information about the establishments and firms for labor force analysis and with tax return information for income studies. The ability to add industry or labor market variables is also discussed.
