Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) and the University of the Philippines School of Economics (UPSE) are delighted to invite you to the launch event for the Philippines Socioeconomic Panel Survey (PSPS) on the 18th of May 2023. The event will bring together national policymakers, local NGOs, international funders, and the private sector to speak about leveraging panel data for evidence-based programming.
The PSPS is a 20-year panel survey that will shed light on the long-term processes of socioeconomic development by providing publicly available data for government actors and the Philippine public. IPA and the Global Poverty Research Lab at Northwestern University are launching the Philippines Socioeconomic Panel Survey (PSPS) in partnership with the Philippine Institute for Development Studies and the UP School of Economics.
Dean Karlan and Chris Udry, lead academic researchers for the PSPS, will share insights on their motivation behind starting this 20-year evidence-generation initiative and how it could be used for the wider public. Engage with actors through a high-level forum of central and local government, the private sector, and NGOs to explore the use of long-term data and rigorous impact evaluation in their respective fields.
