Two major supplements to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) were in the field during the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States: the 2019 waves of the PSID Child Development Supplement (CDS-19) and the PSID Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS-19). Both CDS-19 and TAS-19 abruptly terminated all face-to-face fieldwork and, for TAS-19, shifted interviewers from working in a centralized call center to working from their homes. Overall, COVID-19 had a net negative effect on response rates in CDS-19 and terminated all home visits that represented an important study component. For TAS-19, the overall effect of Covid-19 was uncertain, but negative. The costs were high of adapting to COVID-19 and providing paid time-off benefits to staff affected by the pandemic. Longitudinal surveys, such as CDS, TAS, and PSID, that span the pandemic will provide valuable information on its life course and intergenerational consequences, making ongoing data collection of vital importance.

COVID-19 危机对实地调查的影响：美国收入动态小组研究的两个主要补充的经验和教训。


美国 COVID-19 爆发期间，收入动态小组研究 (PSID) 的两项主要补充已投入使用：2019 年 PSID 儿童发展补充 (CDS-19) 和 PSID 过渡到成人补充 (PSID) TAS-19）。 CDS-19 和 TAS-19 都突然终止了所有面对面的现场工作，而 TAS-19 则将采访员从集中呼叫中心工作改为在家工作。总体而言，COVID-19 对 CDS-19 的响应率产生了净负面影响，并终止了代表重要研究组成部分的所有家访。对于 TAS-19，Covid-19 的总体影响尚不确定，但是负面的。适应 COVID-19 并为受疫情影响的员工提供带薪休假福利的成本很高。涵盖整个大流行的纵向调查（例如 CDS、TAS 和 PSID）将提供有关其生命历程和代际后果的宝贵信息，从而使持续的数据收集变得至关重要。
