PSID Data to Study Numerical Literacy Across Generations in U.S. Households

This project explores numerical literacy across generations in the United States using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), a comprehensive longitudinal dataset. Due to the dataset’s size and complexity, we use AI to optimize performance and processing. The study examines how family structure, income shifts, and changes in socioeconomic status, such as becoming richer or poorer, are linked to numeracy across generations.
