PUMS Uniform Data Extracts
Data Sets
CEPR Uniform Extracts of the One Percent Public Use Microsample of the US Census are available to download in Stata 8/9 format, for years 1980-2000. These data files are generously hosted by the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics.

Documentation and Program Files
The following Stata programs create the CEPR PUMS Uniform Extracts. While you can always just download the final CEPR PUMS Extracts above or order the data on CD, these programs provide clear documentation of the CEPR PUMS variables. In addition, you can edit the do-files to create your own modifications to the CEPR PUMS extracts.
