1.0The ISSER-Northwestern-Yale Long Term Ghana Socioeconomic Panel Survey (GSPS) is a collaboration between the Institute of Statistical, Social, and Economic Research (ISSER) at the University of Ghana, Legon, the Global Poverty Research Lab at Northwestern University and the Economic Growth Center (EGC) at Yale University. The survey is principally funded and designed by the EGC, Northwestern and ISSER, and carried out and supervised by ISSER. The main objective is to provide a scientific framework for a wide range of potential studies of the medium-and long-term changes that are taking place during the process of development. To do so, we have implemented a large-scale, nation-wide panel survey in Ghana starting in 2009, which is currently on its fourth wave. The first three survey waves have been completed–conducted in 2009/2010, 2013/2014, and 2017/2018 and the datasets for these three waves are uploaded here on this Dataserve project page to serve as a resource for the research community. In 2019, the Ghana Socioeconomic Panel Survey was also administered to a sample of participants in Ghana’s rural north who had been classified as “extremely poor” through community-level focus groups. As of 2022, the fourth wave of the GSPS is being implemented.
