Federal Data Challenges: Measurement, Access, and Public Use
This panel will examine current issues surrounding federal data, including data quality, accessibility, continuity, and the practical consequences of these challenges for researchers, policymakers, and the public. Drawing on experience working directly with government data systems, panelists will discuss how federal data are produced, where key weaknesses and constraints emerge, and why these issues matter for evidence-based decision-making. The conversation will also explore broader questions about public trust and the future of federal statistical infrastructure.
