One of the greatest opportunities for improving current statistical measures arises from integrating various sources of information. Such integration will be carried out in a way that maximizes the utility of the data while maintaining confidentiality. Strategies and means: * Conduct internal research and support external research that evaluates and improves methods, measures, and programs. * Maintain external networks of experts to provide program advice. * Develop and maintain microdata and other integrated products that can be used to advance society’s understanding of current conditions and alternatives for the future. Measuring performance: * Number of improvements to data coding, processing, and analysis as a result of findings from the Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics Program. * New insights into how the economy and society function, as revealed in papers generated through the Census Bureau’s Center for Economic Studies and Research Data Centers.
