In response to Alain Marciano's query about Nancy
Ruggles, this is rather impersonal information
from the internet sources. I do not have much
familiarity with the work of Nancy Ruggles, but I wish I had.

The excerpt is from the web site about the Ruggles family:
http://www.orlinresearch.com/AboutUs.aspx
"The members of the Ruggles family have a long
tradition of accomplishment in the development of
statistical measures and in data management and
dissemination. Richard and Nancy Ruggles, parents
of Orlin’s founders, were pioneers in the field
of national income accounting. Richard Ruggles
was a professor of economics at Yale University
from 1948 until his retirement in 1996, while
Nancy Ruggles headed the National Accounts
Division of the United Nations Statistical Office
from 1975 to 1980, and continued her association
with the United Nations until her death in 1987.
Together they worked with many different
countries on the collection and organization of
their economic and social data. They were also
among the first to realize the importance of
microdata—data on individual households and
estabblishments—in understanding economic and
social interacttions. Much of their work from the
late 1970s onward focused on the integration of
newly available microdata sets with the
macroeconomic data summarized in the national accounts. "
