Research To Model Field Of Degree Information For College Graduates, Using The 2003 NSCG File With Linked Census 2000 Long-Form Data
Research To Model Field Of Degree Information For College Graduates, Using The 2003 NSCG File With Linked Census 2000 Long-Form Data
RRS2008-09
Background
The 2009 American Community Survey (ACS) is being considered as a sampling frame for the 2010 National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG). Although the current ACS questionnaire contains the same information as the census long-form, the 2009 ACS will, in addition, include a detailed question on field of degree. Field of degree (FOD) is an important subdomain for the survey, and its inclusion could greatly reduce screening rates for the 2010 NSCG.
In order to evaluate possible sample designs , the Demographic Statistical Methods Division (DSMD) has requested a “mock-up,” person-level file consisting of the 2005/2006 ACS samples (i.e., before FOD is included in the survey) along with a reasonable value of FOD included on each record. This will be accomplished by modeling the relationship between FOD and census long-form variables based on the 2003 NSCG and applying this relationship to the ACS.
