Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) Microdata Users' Workshop and Survey Methods Symposium, July 16-19, 2013
Welcome to the CE Microdata Users’ Workshop Webpage!
Registration for the 2013 Workshop is now open.
The CE program hosted its first annual workshop in July 2006. 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. Beginning in 2012, a fourth day was appended to include space for the CE Survey
Methods Symposium. As always, you can select the days that you wish to attend.
July 16: The CE Survey Methods Symposium is a half-day event to share information about recent findings
and new projects in the CE’s survey methods program. Presentations and discussions will be of interest to researchers and practitioners
using or producing expenditure-related survey data.
July 17-19: The annual CE Microdata Users’ Workshop sessions are geared to microdata users of all levels of experience,
from new and novice users to seasoned experts. Participants receive "hands-on" instruction on how to compute results
from the microdata and attend presentations describing both methodology and results of recent research. In addition,
users of any experience level may schedule individual appointments throughout the workshop to discuss their project or proposal with
knowledgeable CE staff members.
For users new to the CE PUMD we highly recommend reviewing the Getting Started Guide
(PDF) before attending the workshop. Other users more familiar with the PUMD are encouraged to review the guide prior to attending the workshop as well.
The symposium and workshop are free of charge to all attendees. The only requirement is to submit a completed registration form (PDF)
so that the organizers can better plan the events. Periodic updates on the workshop and symposium will be added in the future,
along with links to papers presented at previous workshops.
Please note that this website is open to your comment. If there is anything useful that you would
