DATA AVAILABILITY ANNOUNCEMENT

TITLE:
        Government Crowd-Out of Private Contributions to Public Radio:
        An Empirical Study

Unique Identification Number:
        BA-008-001-1-1-United States-DPLS-1990

Data File:
        Microsoft Excel and tab-delimited ASCII file

Summary:

Publicly available data from IRS Form 990 tax returns, was collected
from a short panel of noncommercial radio stations to study the effect
of fundraising and crowd-out at these stations.  The term crowd-out
refers to the theoretically plausible reduction in private
contributions when government funding is increased. The data set
contains 419 observations for 104 noncommercial radio stations from
1990 to 1996.  There are 29 variables in this data set. Most of them
correspond to information recorded on lines 1a through 21 of Form 990.
Since the initial release of this dataset (May 1999), additional
information has been included such as name of the station's license
holder, the location of the station, the number of potential
listeners, and any indication of National Public Radio affiliation.
