Mission The Center for Economic Studies partners with stakeholders within<br />
<strong>and</strong> outside the U.S. <strong>Census</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> to improve measures of the economy<br />
<strong>and</strong> people of the United States through research <strong>and</strong> innovative<br />
data products.<br />
History The Center for Economic Studies (CES) opened in 1982. CES was<br />
designed to house new longitudinal business databases, develop<br />
them further, <strong>and</strong> make them available to qualified researchers. CES<br />
built on the foundation laid by a generation of visionaries, including<br />
<strong>Census</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> executives <strong>and</strong> outside academic researchers.<br />
Pioneering CES staff <strong>and</strong> academic researchers visiting the <strong>Census</strong><br />
<strong>Bureau</strong> began fulfilling that vision. Using the new data, their analyses<br />
sparked a revolution of empirical work in the economics of industrial<br />
organization.<br />
The <strong>Census</strong> Research Data Center (RDC) network exp<strong>and</strong>s researcher<br />
access to these important new data while ensuring the secure<br />
access required by the <strong>Census</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>and</strong> other providers of data<br />
made available to RDC researchers. The first RDC opened in Boston,<br />
Massachusetts, in 1994.<br />
