The Center is is led by Michael Rendall, Director. It is housed in RAND Labor
and Population. The Center has helped RAND attract and
retain a community of population scholars, including junior researchers
of exceptional promise and senior researchers with national and international
reputations in their fields. Many staff members serve on national advisory
councils, including the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the
National Institutes of Health (NIH). Their work appears in journals
such as the American Economic Review, American Journal of Epidemiology,
American Journal of Sociology, Demography, Econometrica, Journal of
Human Resources, Journal of Labor Economics, Journal of Political Economy,
and Review of Economics and Statistics.
The Center's research efforts are coordinated and supported by an Administrative
Core, Data Management and Computing Core,
and a Seed Grants Program.
