Changes to the Data Made Between Release 9.0 (December 2010) and Release 10.0 (December 2011)

For all changes to the data that were made between Release 9.0 and Release 10.0:

 

Changes to Wave 9 Files Between Releases 9.0 (December 2010) and 10.0 (December 2011)

Cleaning

  • CAPI script error led to C34 not being asked when C33 was don't know. These 30 cases set to no answer (-4) on C34.
  • Implausible changes in marital status. Although identified, around 50 cases had not been cleaned when an implausible sequence of responses to current marital status were recorded (eg from married, divorced or widowed in a previous wave to never married in wave 9). Four cases could not be resolved from the available information and have been left unedited (these cases were also implausible in releases 8.0 and earlier)

Corrections in calculations

  • C34 (ijbmemsz) Enterprise size. The categories 8 ' Don't know but fewer than 100' & 9 'Don't know but 100 or more' were set to -3 'Don't know' [CAPI conversion error] Now correct.
  • C18 (ijbmagh) Are hours worked at home result of formal arrangement with employer. All the 7 'Not applicable self-employed' were changed to -2 'not applicable'. [CAPI conversion error]. Now correct.
  • G1 Numbers and locations of own children. Corrected for 7 cases where all children were deceased, the locations were unknown for all children, or there was no answer to the location question. This does not affect the non-resident children and resident children characteristics tables (at G3 and G15).
  • ihifboni and ihifbonf (household level stimulus payments and flags) were incorrect if there were adults in the household with a person number (ihhpno) > '09' (the household sum and flag check ignored persons 10 to 14). Corrected for 5 households.

Renamed variables

  • Personal credit and store cards. The screening question for card ownership is different in the waves the wealth module is asked (in non-wealth module waves the question has the restriction "used regularly - at least once a month" and the response rate is slightly different). In non-wealth waves (waves 1,3,4,5,7,8 and 9) the variable has been renamed from _CRHAVE to _CRHAVEM and "used at least once a month" add to the variable label.
  • Waves 5 to 9 NPQ variables renamed: _annzcit -> _annzcin; _anaf99 -> _anaf99n; _anref -; _anfrefn; _anpapp -> _anpappn; _anmigc -> _anmigcn; _anafpay -> _ananfpan.

Documentation corrections

  • Variable order in wave 9 data files corrected [misordered after CAPI conversion]

Changes to Wave 8 Files Between Releases 9.0 (December 2010) and 10.0 (December 2011)

Cleaning

  • Age of youngest resident own (hrcyng) child. These are taken from the G3 and G15 children's grids. However households containing foster, step and grand children were not hand examined at wave 8. Corrections involved setting 42 persons to -2 (Not applicable) as all the resident children were foster, step or grand; and resetting the age of youngest child for 10 respondents. This may also change age of youngest own child (htcyng) as it is the youngest of the resident and non-resident own child variables.

Corrections in calculations

  • hfiriska SCQ:C6b Financial risk assumed. Now set to -1 (not asked) if response to preceeding question ranges from 1 to 4 (should have skipped assumed question as gave description of actual behaviour in C6a).

Deleted variables
