Measuring Consumption in the United States

In this replication packet, we provide the code to replicate our main household-level consumption dataset from the Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey (CE) from 1960 to 2019. These data are used in several studies, which are listed in the references section of the README.pdf document, and for our measure of consumption poverty reported on our dashboard at http://povertymeasurement.org/dashboard/. This packet includes the final dataset as well as the code and instructions for how this dataset was created.

本复现数据包中，我们提供了可复现1960年至2019年消费者支出访谈调查（Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey，缩写CE）主要家庭级消费数据集的代码。该数据集已被多项研究采用，相关研究列于README.pdf文档的参考文献部分；同时该数据集也用于我们在数据仪表板http://povertymeasurement.org/dashboard/上发布的消费贫困测度指标。本数据包包含最终数据集，以及用于构建该数据集的代码与操作说明。
