Conference and Workshop I: Harmonization (2013)
The first Workshop in the series focused on technical challenges re
lated to harmonizing data from different cross-national surveys.
Some of the topic we discussed:
- how to organize organize survey data for harmonization purposes,
- how to handle large datasets,
- what contextual (e.g. country-level) variables to include,
- how (whether?) to combine survey data with event data,
- how to deal with differences in data quality between and within surveys,
- how to harmonize demographic, behavioral, and attitudinal variables.
