The Philippines Socioeconomic Panel Survey (PSPS)
This year, IPA and the Global Poverty Research Lab (GPRL) at Northwestern University, are launching the Philippines Socioeconomic Panel Survey (PSPS) in partnership with the Philippine Institute for Development Studies and the UPSE The PSPS is a 20-year panel survey that will shed light on the long-run processes of socioeconomic development by providing publicly available data for government actors and the Philippine public.
Beyond the Snapshot
Join us in welcoming Dean Karlan and Chris Udry, lead academic researchers for the PSPS, to share insights on their motivation behind starting this twenty-year evidence-generation initiative and how it could be used for the wider public. Engage with actors through a high-level forum of central and local government, the private sector, and NGOs to explore the use of long-run data and rigorous impact evaluation in their respective fields.
