Abstract: Given the many concurrent challenges both in the United States and abroad—including the COVID-19 pandemic, economic crises, inequality, and climate change—it is becoming increasingly necessary for researchers to rely on multiple datasets to answer their research questions (Wilson et al., 2021). Individual datasets often lack the information and depth needed to address complex societal and economic issues, and no single dataset contains all the relevant variables needed for the most accurate analysis of many of the most pressing food and agricultural policy issues. Linking multiple datasets is a strategy that allows researchers to generate comprehensive, high-quality data for empirical studies. Data linkages enable researchers to better understand the markets they study and evaluate the implications of and potential need for current and suggested policies.
