Abstract:
|
This session highlights the strategic contributions of CNSTAT in two areas. The first reflects on historical and current perspectives while the second focuses on challenging issues for the foreseeable future: 1) How CNSTAT and the Academies critically complement the work of governmental statistical agencies and the federal statistical system and 2) CNSTAT's policy research and institutional memory on the measurement of the social phenomena of poverty, race/ethnicity, and small geographic areas. This is in memory of CNSTAT past director Edwin Goldfield and in honor of Margaret Martin on her 100th birthday.
