The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is the world's longest running household panel survey. It started in 1968 and has followed the same families-and their descendants-for nearly 50 years. PSID was conducted annually from 1968 through 1997 and has been conducted biennially since 1997. As of 2015, 39 waves of data have been collected. In 2015, interviews were completed with more than 9,000 households and information was collected on about 25,000 household members. PSID has achieved high wave-to-wave response rates throughout most of its history. Since the beginning of the study, detailed information has been collected on family composition, income, assets and debt, public program participation, and housing. At the beginning of the recent housing crisis, PSID began collecting information about mortgage distress and foreclosure activity. PSID currently includes several major supplemental studies. The Child Development Supplement and the Transition into Adulthood Supplement collect detailed information about behavior and outcomes among children and young adults in PSID families, such as educational achievement, health, time use, family formation, and housing-related decisions among young adults. PSID data are publicly available free of charge to researchers; some data available only under contract to qualified researchers allow linkage with various administrative databases and include information such as census tract and block of residence that can be used to describe neighborhood characteristics. PSID data have been widely used to study topics of major interest to Cityscape readers, including housing decisionmaking, housing expenditures and financing, residential mobility and migration, and the effects of neighborhood characteristics on a variety of measures of child and family well-being. This article provides an overview of PSID and its housing- and neighborhood-related measures. We briefly describe studies using PSID on housing-related topics. Finally, we point readers to resources needed to begin working with PSID data.
收入动态跟踪调查（PSID）是世界上持续时间最长的家庭跟踪调查。它始于1968年，对同一批家庭及其后代进行了近50年的跟踪。1968年至1997年期间，PSID每年进行一次，自1997年起每两年进行一次。截至2015年，已收集了39轮数据。2015年，完成了对9000多户家庭的访谈，并收集了约25000名家庭成员的信息。在其历史的大部分时间里，PSID都保持了较高的轮次间回应率。自研究开始以来，已收集了有关家庭构成、收入、资产与债务、公共项目参与情况以及住房的详细信息。在近期住房危机开始时，PSID开始收集有关抵押贷款困境和止赎活动的信息。PSID目前包括几项主要的补充研究。儿童发展补充调查和向成年过渡补充调查收集了PSID家庭中儿童和年轻人行为及结果的详细信息，例如年轻人的教育成就、健康状况、时间利用、家庭组建以及与住房相关的决策。PSID数据可供研究人员免费公开获取；一些仅根据与合格研究人员签订的合同提供的数据允许与各种行政数据库建立联系，并包括诸如普查区和居住街区等可用于描述邻里特征的信息。PSID数据已被广泛用于研究《城市景观》读者主要感兴趣的话题，包括住房决策、住房支出与融资、居住流动性与迁移，以及邻里特征对儿童和家庭福祉各种衡量指标的影响。本文概述了PSID及其与住房和邻里相关的测量方法。我们简要描述了使用PSID进行的与住房相关主题的研究。最后，我们为读者指明开始使用PSID数据所需的资源。
