The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is a useful tool to investigate complex processes from a multidisciplinary perspective. The PSID is a longitudinal database that allows researchers to examine economic and social phenomena, including time-use. Secondary analysis of data from the PSID can support research and teaching.
