Updated figures on time trends in the CGED-Q from our 2020 Journal of Chinese History article
In 2020, we published a paper lead-authored by Bijia Chen in the Journal of Chinese History that introduced the CGED-Q. At the time, we were still entering data. We finally concluded entry of all the 縉紳錄 editions available to us late in 2021. Here we present updated versions of the figures in the JCH paper…
CGED-Q Jinshenlu 1850-1864 Public Release now available
We just made available for download the China Government Employee Database-Qing (CGED-Q) Jinshenlu 1850-1864 Public Release.

New pages with code and other resources for using the CGED-Q JSL Public Releases
I created a set of pages here at my site to share resources to help users of the CGED-Q JSL Public Releases. These will include tables for re-categorizing variables, code snippets to help with data cleaning, and other materials. These are not part of the official releases, and may evolve over time.
GitHub repository with CMGPD source code
I have created a new GitHub repository with STATA code that underpins the China Multigenerational Panel Datasets Liaoning and Shuangcheng, starting from reading in the files entered in Excel by the coders, to record linkage and creation of variables for analysis, to production of extracts for ICPSR. https://github.com/CameronDCampbell/China-Multigenerational-Panel-Dataset

Original English version of State Views and Local Views of Population now Open Access

Caltech at night
Photos of the Caltech campus at night. I enjoyed walks around the campus at night when I was an undergraduate, so when I am back on campus I like to talk walks in the evening.
Caltech by day
I reorganized my photographs of Caltech to separate them into day and night galleries. These are the day galleries.
