The team at IPUMS is excited to introduce something brand new! ATUS-CPS Linking Counts is an interactive tool for exploring the number of ATUS respondents who can be linked to specific CPS months. We know that linkages between ATUS and CPS have great potential for enabling exciting new research, but we also know firsthand how hard it can be to wrap your head around the panel component of the CPS, the relationship between ATUS and CPS, and the many possibilities for linking them. Even researchers who have deep knowledge of the ATUS and CPS may still wonder whether there is a sufficient number of cases to conduct an analysis of interest. This new tool helps address all of these challenges. It very quickly allows you to view the number of ATUS respondents who should appear in each CPS month and determine if there is sufficient sample size for a particular application of linked ATUS-CPS data.
