Epstein Lecture 2024: 217 Million Census Records: evidence from linked census data

On Thursday 7^th March, James Feigenbaum, Boston University, delivered our annual Epstein lecture.  

Using new historical census sources and advances in record linking technology, he showed how the ability to link individuals over time, and between databases, allows us to track intergenerational mobility, assimilation, discrimination and the returns to education.
