Additions to Bibliography of FLS Research

This regular section of the FLS Newsletter includes a list of research papers based on RAND Family Life Survey databases. It includes only new additions to the bibliographic list maintained at RAND. The complete bibliography is on the FLS home page (/FLS).

The content of the FLS bibliography depends on the goodwill and assistance of FLS data users who submit papers or their citations. This is especially true for working papers, conference papers, and other works not yet published in professional journals. Thus, FLS users who wish to include their work in the bibliography are encouraged to send in the relevant citations. An email form for sending citations can be found on the FLS Web site.
