In particular, Julie DaVanzo, Reta Hendratidewi, Jacob Klerman, Lee Lillard, Jack Molyneaux, Bob Schoeni, James P. Smith, and Duncan Thomas contributed tremendously to questionnaire development. John Adams and Dan McCaffrey developed procedures for sampling and for constructing weights. RAND staff Kim Linton, Nick Murray, Caron Murray, Joanna Nelsen, Judy Perlman, and Carl Serrato played key roles in the logistics of questionnaire production and editing, fieldwork, and data entry. We would also like to acknowledge the input of Angus Deaton (Princeton University), T. Paul Schultz (Yale University), and John Strauss (Michigan State University). The survey could not have taken place without the efforts of the directors and staff at LD, particularly N. Haidy A.
