As population-representative online panels become more prominent in economic, social science and health research, researchers and policymakers continue to explore new ways to further increase their quality and usefulness. The Center for Economic and Social Research launched the annual “Current Innovations in Probability-based Household Internet Panel Research (CIPHER)” conference in 2019, to provide a platform for rigorous, time-sensitive and policy-relevant exchange on these issues.
We held our second CIPHER conference, 26-27 February 2020 in Washington, D.C. It was hosted by the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center (GFLEC).

This year, we are broadening the scope of the event to ensure inclusion of more international perspectives, and that voices from the policy, non-governmental and private sectors are more fully represented.
CIPHER 2020 will focus on new approaches to the design of probability-based Internet and mixed-mode panels, their applications in research and policy, and the potential and challenges ahead, specifically:
- Survey methodology and practice
- Data management and linkages
- Developments in analysis techniques
- Substantive applications of research
- Combination of data collected with wearable devices with self-reports
- Naturally occurring data
- Experiments
- Machine learning
- Surveys on Financial Literacy
We are pleased to announce that our keynote speaker is Professor Annette Jäckle, Professor of Survey Methodology and Associate Director of Innovations for Understanding Society, University of Essex.
Presenters this year will be speaking about research using a range of online panels, including the Canada PROBIT panel, NORC’s AmeriSpeak panel, Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel, the Dutch LISS panel, the UK Understanding Society panel, and CESR’s Understanding America Study, amongst others.
