The Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) and the Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) recently signed a memorandum of understanding for research collaboration and popularization of data from a 20-year survey.
The partnership seeks to promote the use of the Philippines Socioeconomic Panel Survey (PSPS), a 20-year panel survey that will shed light on the long-term processes of social and economic development by providing publicly available data for government actors and the Philippine public.
The PSPS is led by the IPA and the Global Poverty Research Lab at Northwestern University in partnership with PIDS and the University of the Philippines School of Economics. It was launched in a hybrid event in May 2023.
PIDS President Aniceto Orbeta Jr. and IPA Country Director Aftab Opel signed the MOU.
