NSF grant and new technology help CU-led project mine census data
Myers, Linda (Cornell Chronicle, 2000-03-09)
A gold mine of information collected by the U.S. Bureau of the Census but previously inaccessible to researchers could be used to tackle a range of social issues, according to John M. Abowd, professor of labor economics in Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations. The new knowledge that can be generated from these data is potentially far reaching, he said, covering everything from where the best jobs are to how to make public policy more responsive to people's needs.
Named Professorships
(Cornell Chronicle, 2002-03-14)
John M. Abowd, professor of labor economics in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations and director of the Cornell Institute for Social and Economic Research (CISER), was named the Edmund Ezra Day Professor of Industrial and Labor Relations. Abowd is the first Cornell professor to hold the chair named for Day, who was the fifth president of the university, from 1937 to 1949, and who helped establish Cornell's ILR School and business school programs.
CU-led consortium will test new confidential methods to mine census data
Steele, Bill (Cornell Chronicle, 2004-10-07)
With modern computing power, data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Internal Revenue Service, law enforcement agencies and other branches of government can be combined to answer important public policy questions. The trick is to do this without violating people's privacy.
John Abowd steps down as director of CISER
Crawford, Franklin (Cornell Chronicle, 2007-12-21)
After eight-and-a-half years at the helm of the Cornell Institute for Social and Economic Research (CISER), John M. Abowd is stepping down and devoting himself full time to his own teaching and research. Abowd, the Edmund Ezra Day Professor of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell, will be on sabbatical for the spring semester conducting research at the University of Notre Dame's Department of Economics and Econometrics. A search is under way for a new director.
NSF grant opens gateway to vast computing resources
Catt, Mary (Cornell Chronicle, 2009-07-27)
A new National Science Foundation grant awarded to two ILR School researchers will create a Social Science Gateway to TeraGrid -- the NSF's national supercomputing infrastructure.
Professor Promotes Student Use of Peer-Reviewed Papers
Carlson, Scott (Chronicle of Higher Education, 2003-03-07)
A report released last month shows that students in a course at Cornell University have generally used fewer scholarly materials in their library research in the past six years. But the professor who teaches the course reversed the trend by providing a few clear guidelines in term-paper assignments.

NSF grant funds ILR research to unlock U.S. Census data
Catt, Mary (Cornell Chronicle, 2011-10-17)
The ILR School's Labor Dynamics Institute will receive almost $3 million over five years to establish research networks (nodes) to solve problems confronting national statistics agencies. The network is intended to foster long-term collaborations between university-based research teams and the statistical agencies.
Research Funded
(ILR.cornell.edu, 2011-10-13)
ILR's Labor Dynamics Institute, in collaboration with the Cornell Institute of Social and Economic Research, is one of eight recipients of more than $20 million in federal interdisciplinary research grants. Work funded by the grants is aimed at finding new ways to unlock social, behavioral and economic data collected through the U.S. Census Bureau, according to the National Science Foundation and the Census Bureau.
