A PANEL STUDY OF INCOME DYNAMICS: PROCEDURES AND TAPE CODES 1982 INTERVIEWING YEAR WAVE XV A SUPPLEMENT Conducted with Grants from the National Science Foundation, the Sloan Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Ford Foundation, with Additional Help from the National Institute on Aging Survey Research Center INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN 1984 ii Preface This volume documents the fifteenth wave of data collected in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, interviews taken in 1982 on income for 1981. Volumes I and II of A Panel Study of Income Dynamics contain tape codes, indexes, available data, questionnaires and procedures specific to our first five years of data collection (1968-1972). These volumes also describe the early history of the study and some of the basic procedures that are common to all fifteen years of interviewing. Ten supplemental volumes, including this one, cover procedures, codes and questionnaires for Waves VI-XV. Ten volumes of findings entitled Five Thousand American Families--Patterns of Economic Progress are now available. Due to lack of funding, no further volumes are planned in this series. Board of Overseers The panel study now has a Board of Overseers. Most of its ten members come from other Universities: California, Chicago, Cornell, Harvard, Wis- consin and Yale and one member from the Department of Labor. The Board has met four times and its members have many suggestions for improving the study. Among the first to be achieved is a PSID User Guide, available by early 1984. It contains much vital information that a resear- cher needs to know in order to use the panel study data effectively. It is in loose-leaf format so that new material can be added as needed. The guide describes how to use the data properly for either cross sectional or longitudinal analysis with either the family or the individual as the unit of analysis. See Section I, Part 8 of this volume for a list of some other topics included in the guide. Staff Greg J. Duncan and James N. Morgan are the study's principal resear- chers. Others responsible include Sue Augustyniak, Joan Brinser, Barbara Browne, C. Gaye Burpee, Mary Corcoran, Anita Ernst, Peggy Gunnesch, Pris- cilla Hildebrandt, Dan H. Hill, Martha S. Hill, Margaret Hoad, Tecla C. Loup, Linda Muszalski, Lenore Pienta, Michael Ponza, Anne Sears, and Mary Wreford. To our regret, Linda Datcher has left us to become a Post- Doctoral Fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and Michael Kaplan is pursuing bright lights, fame, and fortune in the Big Apple. iii iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . iii Section I: Procedures for the 1982 Interviewing Year . . . . . 1 Part 1: The 1982 Questionnaire, Data Processing, Interview- ing Procedures, Occupation Codes, Data Quality, In- dependent Part Samples, Weights . . . . . . . . . . 1 Part 2: 1982 Questionnaire . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 Part 3: Editing Procedures and Worksheets . . . . . . . . . 9 Part 4: Coding Procedures . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Part 5: Generated Variables and Additional Data . . . . . . 16 Part 6: Data Available . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 Part 7: Creating Family-Level Data from the Cross-Year Family-Individual Tape . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 Part 8: PSID User Guide . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 Section II: Tape Codes for Wave XV . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 Part 1: Fifteenth-Year Family-Level Tape Code . . . . . . . 21 Part 5: Index of the 1982 Employment Sections . . . . . . . 263 v vi SECTION I PROCEDURES FOR THE 1982 INTERVIEWING YEAR Part 1: The 1982 Questionnaire, Data Processing, Interviewing Procedures, Occupation Codes, Data Quality, Independent Part Samples, Weights The 1982 Questionnaire As an economy measure the content of the 1982 Questionnaire was reduced. No new questions were asked and even some of the trend questions about things that don't change often were eliminated temporarily. However, we did retain the series of questions initiated in 1981 about spells of unemployment and periods neither working nor looking for work. Data Processing The direct data entry coding that we started using last year continues to save us time and money. This system decreases staff time spent checking wild codes and consistency and also can be used to generate some variables. Interviewing Procedures Most of the interviews were taken by telephone by interviewers in the field. The Ann Arbor interviewers concentrated on call-backs for missing information. They also made numerous follow-up calls to reluctant respond- ents who had received persuasion letters (we were able to interview 60 per- cent of the original refusals). We took 6742 interviews out of an estimated 6919 for an overall response rate of 97.4. Subtracting from the base the 55 respondents who had died since the last interview, had moved into institutions where we were not able to interview them, were too ill to talk to us, or had gone back to being the wife in a reunited couple, raises the response rate to 98.0 percent. This includes interviews with 257 new splitoffs out of a possible 299 for an 86.0 percent response. For the reinterview panel only (again with the deceased, etc., subtracted from the base) the response rate was 98.8 percent. The average length of the 1982 interview was 20.8 minutes. We paid $10.00 for it plus the usual $5.00 for returning the address correction post card. As of 1982 we have respondents in the District of Columbia and all the states except Vermont ranging from one lone family in Montana to 630 in California. Panel families also live in Puerto Rico and 14 foreign countries. 1 2 Occupation Codes We use the 1970 Census three-digit occupation and industry codes for the main jobs of employed heads and wives. They are also used for the most recent jobs held by heads and wives who are currently unemployed and look- ing for work and for any job held in 1981 by a head or wife who is now retired or no longer in the labor force. We continue to use the Survey Research Center's two-digit occupation codes, which are brackets of the 1970 Census codes, for extra jobs held by a head or wife and for the kind of job they were hunting for if they were unemployed and looking for work. For comparability to past data, one-digit occupation codes are used to code head's first job and head's father's occupation, since these data items are collected only for families with new heads. Data Quality Ninety-three percent of the 1981 interviews were taken by telephone (Table 2). The remaining 10 percent of respondents have no telephones, or prefer personal interviews due to party lines or hearing difficulties, or live out of range of our interviewers and fill out their own question- naires. Every year a few more wives answer the questions for their hus- bands (Table 3). However, there is very little year-to-year variation in the number of assignments we have to make (Table 4), so the quality of the data, according to our measure of it, continues to be good. The overall response rate remained at 97 percent (Table 1). If the cumulative response rate is based on the interviews actually obtained in 1968 and the splitoffs from those families, the cumulative response rate after the fifteenth year is 60.4 percent. As of 1982, 11,113 members of the original 1968 panel families were still in the sample. Of these, 326 were currently in institutions (away at school or college, in the armed forces, in hospitals, nursing homes, jails, etc.). 4,586 children born to panel families since 1968 still live in these families. There are also 3,799 non sample individuals living in panel families. 3 Table 1 ANNUAL AND CUMULATIVE PANEL RESPONSE RATES* ______________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Percent Year ------------------------------------------------- Annual Cumulative ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1968 76 76 1969 89 68 1970 97 66 1971 97 64 1972 97 62 1973 97 61 1974 97 59 1975 97 57 1976 96 55 1977 97 53 1978 97 51 1979 97 49 1980 97 48 1981 97 47 1982 97 46 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *The deceased, those too ill to be interviewed, and recombined families have not been removed from the base. 4 Table 2 PROPORTION OF INTERVIEWS BY TELEPHONE ______________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of Unweighted Year Sample Size Telephone Percent of Interviews Sample ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1968 4,802 -- -- 1969 4,460 -- -- 1970 4,655 67 1.4 1971 4,840 108 2.2 1972 5,060 134 2.6 1973 5,185 4,047 76.6 1974 5,517 4,554 82.5 1975 5,725 4,836 84.5 1976 5,862 5,360 91.4 1977 6,007 5,040 83.9 1978 6,154 5,283 85.8 1979 6,373 5,635 88.4 1980 6,533 5,829 89.2 1981 6,620 6,081 91.9 1982 6,742 6,257 92.8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 Table 3 PROPORTION OF FAMILY HEADS INTERVIEWED _________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proportion of Year Total Interviews Sample by Head ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1968 4,802 92.6 1969 4,460 93.1 1970 4,655 93.2 1971 4,840 93.3 1972 5,060 93.5 1973 5,285 91.1 1974 5,517 90.0 1975 5,725 88.3 1976 5,862 92.6 1977 6,007 90.0 1978 6,254 90.2 1979 6,373 88.5 1980 6,533 85.8 1981 6,620 84.3 1982 6,742 83.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 Table 4* TOTAL ACCURACY CODES ON HUSBAND AND WIFE INCOME VARIABLES ____________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 or Year of Data 0 1 2 3 More Total -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1968 94.0 2.5 2.6 0.2 0.8 100.0 1969 95.6 1.6 1.9 0.1 0.8 100.0 1970 96.9 1.3 1.3 0.1 0.5 100.0 1971 97.7 0.9 0.9 0.1 0.4 100.0 1972 97.8 0.8 1.1 0.0 0.3 100.0 1973 97.9 1.1 0.7 0.1 0.2 100.0 1974 98.2 0.9 0.7 0.0 0.2 100.0 1975 98.3 0.8 0.8 0.0 0.2 100.0 1976 97.0 1.2 1.6 0.1 0.2 100.0 1977 97.4 1.1 1.2 0.0 0.3 100.0 1978 97.4 0.7 1.3 0.1 0.5 100.0 1979 96.1 0.8 2.3 0.1 0.7 100.0 1980 95.8 0.8 2.4 0.2 0.8 100.0 1981 95.6 1.2 2.5 0.2 0.4 100.0 1982 95.3 1.1 2.7 0.1 0.8 100.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------- *Table 4 is based on four variables: Accuracy of Head's Labor Income (V8266 + V8271) Accuracy of Wife's Labor Income (V8274) Accuracy of Asset Income of Head and Wife (V8282) Accuracy here is determined by the number of assignments made by the editors in order to recreate data missing from an interview. The more assignments, the less reliable the data. The accuracy code values and their meanings are: 0. Adequate response: No assignments made. 1. Minor assignment: Response was inadequate, but estimates could be made within a probable error of under $300 or 10 percent of the assignment by using previous years' data or other data in the interview. 2. Major assignment: Response was inadequate, and estimates had a probable error of at least $300 and at least 10 percent of 7 the value of the assignment, using any information available in previous interviews or in the current one. Usually these values were assigned from an assignment table. This table shows the sum of the accuracy codes for the three dif- ferent income measures. The maximum number possible here would be eight for married couples, six for single heads. 8 Independent Part Samples The use of part samples is suggested for separating the selection of a preferred model from the assessment of its stability and power. Simple random subsamples are not independent of the rest of the sample because of the clustered nature of area probability samples. Therefore, four in- dependent quarter-samples are designated in the code (V8724). How much of the sample should be reserved for statistical testing depends on how unsure one is about the best model and how important the estimation and testing of one optimal model is felt to be. For illustrations of the results of this separation of the searching from the assessing procedures, see the volumes of findings, Five Thousand American Families--Patterns of Economic Progress, Volume I, pp. 6-8 and pp. 342-344; Volume II, Chapter 9; and Volume IV, Chapter 2 (Survey Research Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan). There is also a code for use in defining paired strata for repeated replication of half-samples for computing sampling errors (V8725). See Chapter 17 of Vol. IX of Five Thousand American Families, and Section I, Part 5 in this volume. Weights The sample was reweighted in 1978. For a detailed description of how this was done, see A Panel Study of Income Dynamics--1978 Interviewing Year, Wave XI, page 6. This is a population weight for reducing bias in estimates, not a variance weight for efficiency. Part 2: 1982 Questionnaire The 1982 questionnaire with variable numbers from the merged family tape was included in the original published documentation. It is not in- cluded in this machine readable version. You may obtain a paper version of the "1982 Questionnaire with Vari- able Numbers" by sending a request by e-mail to "psid.staff@umich.edu" or by US mail to Jean Yeung, 3263 ISR, University of Michigan, PO Box 1248, Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1248. Part 3: Editing Procedures and Worksheets The editing process serves three main purposes: (1) accounting for all year-to-year changes in family membership, (2) rectifying discrepancies within the interview before coding, and (3) calculating and recording numeric data on the worksheets and interviews for coding. It is a compli- cated task requiring a high degree of accuracy, so each interview is checked by another editor. Each interview is screened for discrepancies that require a return trip to the field for further information. Family composition editing and occupation coding comprise the next step. Finally, the massive edit is done, and interviews are considered "clean" for coding. The full array of past interviews is available to editors, though only the past year's interview is usually consulted to solve problems. It is used when the current interview is vague, contradictory, or incomplete despite previous attempts to clarify the family's situation. Project staff closely oversee the editing process, and substantive decisions regarding the handling of specific problems are made by this staff. The techniques used to edit previous waves were again used to edit Wave XV. Detailed discussion of these techniques will be found in the Waves I-V (1968-1972) documentation, Volume 1, pp. 270-339. Specific chan- ges since that time have been documented annually in Section I, Part 3 of the succeeding documentation volumes. Family Composition Editing All people in a panel family at the time of the previous year's inter- view must be accounted for in the current year. They may either remain in the family or they may have moved out to form a new family. Sample members 18 or older who move out and form their own households are followed and interviewed as new panel families. Family composition editing remains unchanged for 1982. Wave XV Changes In an attempt to economize, a move was initiated to streamline the questionnaire. The entire staff prioritized the 1981 questionnaire and removed a significant number of questions for the 1982 wave. A comparison of the 1982 questionnaire (see Section 1, Part 2 of this volume) with the 1981 questionnaire in the Wave XIV (1981) documentation, Section 1, Part 2, will most easily allow the user to see what has been deleted. Many of the dropped questions will be returning in the 1983 questionnaire. Below is a summary of question topics not carried over from the 1981 wave to the 1982 questionnaire. 1. Availability of Public Transportation 2. Distance of Household from Center of Nearest City 3. Type of Housing Unit Lived in 9 10 4. Mortgage Information for Home Owners 5. Separate Utilities Costs (however, cost of total utilities was asked) 6. Travel to Work: Time Spent and Type of Transportation (miles to work was asked) 7. Amount of Housework Done by Family Members 8. Perceived Eligibility for Food Stamps 9. Weeks Unemployed and Weeks in School During the Previous Year for Other Family Unit Members (those who are not currently Heads or Wives) 10. Lengths of Hospital Stays and Bed-confining Illnesses for Head and Wife 11. Whether the Family Received Financial Assistance from Government Medical Service (Medicaid, Medicare, etc.) SALARIED WORKERS' WAGE RATES We are continuing to use "real work hours" to convert salaried workers' current income into hourly wage rates. This was described in the Wave XIV (1981) documentation, p. 66, and below are the current instruc- tions given to the editors: In order for you NOT to use one of our conventions for converting a yearly/monthly/weekly salary, the following conditions must ALL be met.1 1. Head/Wife must not receive overtime pay. 2. Head/Wife must have had their present position for over a year. 3. Head/Wife must work significantly more than our conventional figure (i.e., at least 45 hours per week). These rules also apply for those working significantly less than 40 hours per week (i.e., less than 35 hours per week) with one dif- ference, it does not matter if they receive any overtime payment. MARGINAL TAX RATE For the past few years, our tax estimations and "Marginal Tax Rate" have been calculated using a computer program (see Wave XIII (1980) documentation volume, Section 1, Part 5 for a detailed description). Of the almost 7000 panel interviews, between 20 and 30 require hand tax cal- culation. This occurs when a New Head or New Wife moves into a panel fami- ___________________________________________________________________________ 1The conventions are as follows: yearly=2000 hours; monthly=167 hours; and weekly=40 hours. 11 ly after December 31st of the previous year but by the time of the current year's interview. This means that a currently married couple (or family) functioned as two separate family units in the previous year. Since our tax program can- not accommodate this situation, we calculate separate taxes by hand for each and place the sum in the variable for Total Family Taxes (V8676). In the variable for Marginal Tax Rate (V8677) we place whichever of the two tax rates is higher. ASSIGNMENT TABLES In Wave XV, as in Waves XII-XIV, we used inflation factors for some of our assignment tables. The tables were first drawn using the unweighted data from last year (Wave XIV); then each figure was increased by the per- cent of inflation for that category. The inflation factors were derived from the Implicit Price Deflators for gross national product of the Com- merce Department's Survey of Current Business, January 1982, by comparing the 4th quarter of 1980 to the 4th quarter of 1981. The factors used are as follows: House Value for Homeowners (V8217) 106% (Note that if we have a house value for this dwelling from last year's interview we use that amount, plus 10%, with an accuracy code value of 1 in preference to the table amount, which always carries an accuracy code value of 2.) Annual Rent for Renters (V8221), 108.5% Imputed Annual Rent for Nonowners/Nonrenters (V8223), 108.5% Total Utilities (V8225), 114.1% Annual Food Cost Except Food Stamps (V8256), 105.4% Annual Cost of Eating Out (V8258), 105.4% The 1982 edit worksheets with variable numbers from the merged family tape was included in the original published documentation. It is not in- cluded in this machine readable version. You may obtain a paper version of the "1982 Edit Worksheets with Vari- able Numbers" by sending a request by e-mail to "psid.staff@umich.edu" or by US mail to Jean Yeung, 3263 ISR, University of Michigan, PO Box 1248, Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1248. 12 Part 4: Coding Procedures Production coding the questionnaire is the final step to putting the data into usable form for analysis. This occurs after the questionnaire has been edited as described in Part 3 above. The coding process converts non-numerical answers into numerical values. The coders entered the edited variables and coded the questionnaire using the system designed by the Computer Support Group at ISR's Survey Research Center for direct data entry. The system, Interactive System for Input of Survey Data (ISISD), is compatible with ISR's OSIRIS analysis package and has been used by the PSID for three years. It incorporates wild code and consistency checking of data during the actual coding process. These checks insure that coders cannot enter invalid code values, and the necessity of later data cleaning by the Panel Study staff is great- ly reduced. This section deals only with the question of reliability, or inter- coder variance. Reliability is the measure of ambiguity of codes as well as accuracy of the coders. Approximately 10 percent of the interviews (682) were coded twice, once by the coder and a second time by a Panel Study staff member or a check coder. Check coding consists of an item-by- item check of all data values which have been independently coded by a second person, thus enabling the study staff to determine early in the processing whether any individual coder is having difficulty and whether any codes are causing problems. Coders are trained by a member of the study staff before they are al- lowed to production-code interviews. Training begins with a short intro- duction on the history and purpose of the study and a question-and-answer session. The coders check code two practice interviews which have been coded previously by the study staff member. Then the coders and the study staff member go over the practice interviews in detail, discussing any dif- ferences with particular emphasis on problems that could arise during in production coding and responses that may present coding difficulty. A difference is a disagreement between the coder and the check coder. Differences become errors when so judged by the check coder; for example, a coder may use the wrong code, punch the wrong number on the terminal keyboard, or miss a specific direction in the code. Those disagreements which are not errors involve coding of open-ended questions; decisions on the final codes chosen rest with the study staff member. Coding Differences for Wave XV All but one of the differences of 1.3 percent or over were on open- ended questions. Such questions vary in the degree of coding difficulty, depending on question content. Questions ascertaining reasons for various behavior, that is to say, "Why?" questions, are the most difficult ones to build codes for and to actually code. Questions B18 (V8370) "Why did you move?" and B21 (V8373) "Why might you move?" have periodically shown some history of reliability problems throughout the duration of the study. Replies involving consumptive 13 reasons are most usually so specific to each respondent's situation that new coders' ability to conceptualize these replies in terms of the given code categories is very difficult. Question C20 (V8391) "What happened to the job you had before--did the company go out of business, were you laid off, promoted, were you not work- ing, or what?" has problems similar to questions B18 and B21. Although C20 is more specific in content than B18 and B21, it is still asking "why" something occurred. Respondent replies here were not always sufficiently unambiguous for ease in coding. For example, the answer "transfer" could be interpreted as either a lateral transfer or a promotion or demotion. The code was changed early in the coding process to include unspecified transfers in code 7. Table 5 RELIABILITY SCORES ___________________________________________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Differences 1.3 Percent or Over --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question Number Variable Number Percent Error --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A4* V8359 1.7 B18 V8370 3.9 B21 V8373 3.3 C20 V8391 1.3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall coding rates of difference for 1982 are .84. *Since question A4 (V8359) asks for factual information, the 1.7 rate of difference may be taken as the error rate for that variable. When coding question A4 (V8359) "During the last year, about how many miles did you (and your family) drive in your [car(s) (and) truck(s)]?", some coders neglected to code the reply as "99999. NA (not ascertained)" when one or more of the vehicles were deleted from the previous question because they were owned by nonFU members who shared the household with the panel family. This deletion procedure necessitates such a change because in most cases the replies are not broken down into miles for each vehicle; only the annual total on all vehicles is given. Check Coding of Occupation and Industry Codes During the coding process, a separate checking procedure was es- tablished to attempt to obtain some information on reliability rates for the three-digit 1970 Census occupation and industry codes. A total of 620 interviews were selected for this process. Since each Head must answer either Section C or D or E, the check coder used the occupation and in- dustry information from the appropriate section for overall totals. A similar procedure was followed for Wives, using Sections F, G and H. Of the 620 interviews selected, 483 contained information for Heads and 229 14 for Wives. The remainder represent families with non-working Heads or Wives or with no Wife in 1982. Overall reliabilities (including the inapplicable cases) were: Head's Occupation: 92.4% Head's Industry; 95.5% Wife's Occupation: 97.6% Wife's Industry: 98.5% When adjusted for removal of inapplicable cases, these figures became: Head's Occupation: 89.6% Head's Industry: 93.2% Wife's Occupation: 93.5% Wife's Industry: 96.1% Matched differences, that is, cases in which the coder and check coder dif- fered in the same way more than once, occurred between the following codes: Number of Occupation* Differences Head Managers & Administrators, nec (245) - Res- 3 taurant, cafeteria, and bar manager (230) Managers & Administrators, nec (245) - 2 Foremen, nec (441) Heavy equipment mechanics, including diesel 2 (481) - Mechanics and repairmen, not specified (495) Cleaners & Charwomen (902) - Janitors & sex- 2 tons (903) Number of Industry* Differences Heads Manufacturing of pottery and related products 2 (137) - manufacturing of electrical household appliances (199) Sanitary services (478) - local public ad- 2 ministration (937) 15 Occupation and industry codes yielding the highest numbers of differences were: Number of Occupation Differences Head Managers and Administrators, nec (245) 14 Heavy equipment operatives (481) 4 Restaurant, cafeteria, and bar managers (230) 3 Miscellaneous operatives (694) 3 Wife Child care workers, exc. private household 2 Number of Industry Differences Head Industry not reported, NA (999) 5 Special trade contractors (069) 3 Pulp, paper, and paperboard mills (328) 3 Health services, nec (848) 3 Manufacturing of pottery and related products 2 (137) Manufacturing of electrical household ap- 2 pliances (199) Automobile repair and related services (757) 2 Federal public administration (917) 2 Local public administration (937) 2 Wives Apparel and accessories (319) 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *There were no matched differences on occupation or industry for the wives. 16 For both Heads and Wives, only 8% of the differences on both occupa- tion and industry occurred within the same Census Major Heading groups. Heads' occupation differences were predominantly within the Managers and Administrators group, the Craftsmen and Kindred Workers group, and the Service Workers (including Private Household). Wives' occupation problems were mainly confined to the Clerical and Kindred Workers, since Wives tend to be concentrated in that occupation group. Industry code differences for Heads were most frequent in the Manufac- turing group, the Construction group, and the Utilities and Sanitary Ser- vices group. Wives' differences in industry codes were spread fairly even- ly among the different groups. Appendix 2 of the Wave XIV (1980) documentation volume lists the three-digit occupation and industry classifications used. These are taken from U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1970 Census of Population Alphabetical In- dex of Industries and Occupations, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, 1971, pp. vii-xiv. Prior to 1981, an attempt was made to reconcile inconsistencies in the coding of the same occupation between years. Cases with the same Head for each pair of years and in which this Head had reported no change in job were inspected for clues as to which occupation code was correct. This task proved to be both monumental and relatively fruitless, and was discon- tinued. Part 5: Generated Variables and Additional Data Various indexes, bracket variables, and complex measures of economic status have been constructed each year using variables derived directly from coded interview data. Each year changes in the interview schedule have made additions and deletions of indexes necessary. In general, if an index could not be built to be exactly comparable to a previous index, no index was constructed. Income Several measures of economic status have been generated for all fif- teen years, including money income variables and measures of income ade- quacy. Family Money Income, one of the simplest indexes, is the total of all members' earnings, transfers, and capital income (1982: V8689). Bracket Variables Several numerical variables, such as family money income, had been, until Wave X (1977), given also as bracket (interval) codes. Such interval codes had been constructed for most of the measures where a distribution was useful and appropriate. This includes practically all of the income variables and their components. For Waves X-XV we have provided two pieces of information in the family tape code which allow users to bracket as their own uses dictate: (1) weighted percent of nonzero cases, and (2) weighted mean value of those cases. This information is provided for any variable which was bracketed in 1976. 17 Race Because the interview schedules are now designed for telephone use, race of respondent, which comes from interviewer observation, has not been obtained since the 1972 interviewing year. Families were therefore as- signed race codes from the 1972 data. For splitoffs, race was assigned from the 1972 values for their main families (V8723). Regional Data Measures In addition to personality and behavior, locational and environmental factors are potentially important determinants of an individual's economic status. Consequently, the interview data have been supplemented with in- formation on some employment and income characteristics of the county where the panel family lives (V's 8728-8730). Questionnaires are sent each year to state employment offices asking about current labor market conditions in these counties. For the past three years, two of the usual five questions asked in previous years were dropped as being inappropriate in the modern world. Sampling Error Computing Unit (SECU) Formulas for the sampling errors, or variances, of estimators based on the assumption of having data from a simple random sample are inappropriate for the PSID data. While the PSID is a probability sample, it differs from a simple random sample because of stratification, clustering, and dis- proportionate selection rates for families. These deviations from simple random sampling complicate proper calculation of sampling errors for es- timators, but they do not entirely preclude it. Methods for calculating the proper sampling errors of estimators do vary, though, according to the type of estimator, the calculation model, and the computer program performing the calculations. Since the PSID is often used for regression analysis, a SECU variable was generated which was specifically designed to allow users to calculate the proper sampling er- rors for regression statistics in an attempt to reduce computing costs without huge sacrifices in precision. The code for the SECU variable, its name, and the terminology that follows specifically relate to an OSIRIS IV sampling error computer program with the BHS option for regression statistics. This program, Repeated Replication Sampling Error Analysis (REPERR), has other options for sam- pling error calculations for regression statistics, and is one of the two OSIRIS IV sampling error programs. The other program, Sampling Error Analysis (PSALMS), is designed to calculate the sampling errors of ratios such as means or proportions. However, a coding of computing units dif- ferent from that of V8725 is recommended for such calculations. Resear- chers interested in computing sampling errors of ratios should inquire about obtaining this alternate coding consisting of a considerably larger number of coding units. For further details, see the Wave XIII (1980) documentation volume, pp. 81-82. Note that 1982 splitoffs received the SECU values of their main families from 1981. 18 Linking Data: Splitoffs For 1981 and 1982, data has been provided to assist the user in link- ing splitoff information with that of their main families. The family- level data for each main family in 1982 (where V8207=0) contains values for V8732 representing the actual number of 1982 splitoff families from this main family with which interviews were taken. Thus, splitoff nonresponse cases are not included. On each splitoff data record (V8207=1), the family portion of the record contains the current year's interview number (V8202) of the associated main family at V8733; each individual-level record of splitoff persons also contains this interview number (V9075), as well as month and year the splitoff family was formed (V's 9073 and 9074). Month and year moved out are derived from actual move-out dates of splitoff individuals as reported on the main family coversheets. Thus, in the relatively rare event that two or more individuals move at different times from the main family to form one splitoff family, each individual receives his or her actual date of move as code values for V9073 and V9074. Any other splitoff individuals who appear for the first time in a splitoff family, such as nonsample spouses, friends, miscellaneous relatives and newborn children, receive the move-out date given for the splitoff mover- out. When, rarely, more than one splitoff mover-out date exists, these new persons receive the earlier one. For those individuals who move from institutions to form their own splitoff families, code values of 98 are inserted into the tape locations for both month and year, and the miscellaneous other splitoff family mem- bers appearing for the first time in the study receive missing data code values of 99 for these month and year variables. Linking Data: Families Sharing Households It is not uncommon for two or more family units to share living quarters. Panel families involved in such a situation may live with per- sons or families who are not sample members and who are not included by the study as family members because the arrangement is supposedly temporary and the situation resembles that of roommates, where expenses are split between the individuals involved. However, the members of one panel family may also move in with the members of another panel family. Financial disasters such as divorce and unemployment contribute heavily to such patterns of be- havior. Most frequently, a former splitoff child already being interviewed separately returns home to live with panel parents for a period of time un- til resuming life on his or her own. Occasionally, siblings who are each being interviewed move in together to share an apartment, or aging panel parents go to live with their panel children. To allow users the opportunity of utilizing the data set for such situations, several link variables were created for 1982. The first step involved expanding the code for V8215, Current Family Composition, to flag cases where this sharing occurred. The code differentiates between both panel and nonpanel primary and secondary families living in the same households. Codes 4, 6, and 8 indicate that such an arrangement exists be- tween panel families. In a few cases, as many as four panel families lived under the same roof at the time of the 1982 interview, and thus there are 19 three sets of linking variables so that all panel families living together are linked in every possible direction. V's 8734, 8736 and 8738 contain the 1982 interview numbers or ID numbers (V8202) of these other families. In addition, variables describing kinship ties between these families (V8735, V8737, V8739) were created. Taxes Each family's taxes were estimated again this year by computer. In the past, the variable for amount of remaining mortgage principal was used to help determine whether or not a family itemized deductions (for details, see the Wave XIII (1980) documentation volume, pp. 85-86). But because this data item was not included in the 1982 interview schedule, a replace- ment value was calculated, using 90% of the 1981 value for remaining mortgage principal (V7519). The table for average fraction of income deducted by itemizers in various income classes has been updated. It is truncated at .40 for all incomes under $14,000. The fractions are again the ratios of aggregates and were calculated using Table 1 from 1980 Statistics of Income-- Individual Tax Returns, p. 8. As before, these itemized deductions are used only when they exceed the standard deduction or "zero bracket amount" ($2300 for single and head-of-household returns, $3400 for married returns in 1981--unchanged from 1980). _______________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Average Fraction of Income Deducted |----------------------------------------------- Taxable Income | 1979 & 1978 | 1981 | Taxes | Taxes -----------------------+--------------------------+-------------------- Less than $14,000 | .33 | .40 $14,000-$15,999 | .30 | .35 $16,000-$17,999 | .28 | .30 $18,000-$19,999 | .26 | .285 $20,000-$24,999 | .23 | .26 $25,000-$29,999 | .215 | .23 $30,000-$49,999 | .20 | .21 $50,000-$99,999 | .19 | .20 $100,000 or more | .19 | .19 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 6: Data Available For each year of this study, both a family-individual and a family- level tape have been created. In addition, the family-level tape has been merged with the previous years' family tapes so that there are two through fifteen-year merged family-level tapes. The individual-level tapes were merged on five through fifteen-year bases only. For a detailed description of these tapes, see the User Guide to the PSID. Two tapes were also created using the 1967 S.E.O. data for the part of the sample that was originally interviewed by the Census. 20 All inquiries for information about this study should be made in writ- ing to: Member Services, Inter-University Consortium for Political and So- cial Research, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, P.O.

Part 7: Creating Family-Level Data from the Cross-Year Family-Individual Tape Since the fifteen-year family-individual tape is very unwieldy with its approximately 20,000 cases and 16,600 tape locations, and users might well be interested in analyzing the data largely on a family-level basis, we have appended suggestions here on the creation of family files from the cross-year family-individual tape. The structure of the family-individual file combines family-level data for each person in the family unit together with information unique to that person. Each individual is assigned a unique sequence number (V9022) which indicates the person's position and status on the 1982 list of people in the family; thus, the first person listed is 01, the second person listed is 02, and so on. To create a family-level file, it is necessary only to write off onto a new tape those cases where V9022 = 01, since each family must have at least one member, although it may or may not have two or more. It is suggested that V9022 be used as opposed to V9023, Relationship to Read, because although each family has one and only one current head (i.e., where V9022 = 01-20 and V9023 = 1), it is possible that the prior year's head of the family has moved out since the previous interview and a new head is present for the current interview. Relationship to head for movers-out is coded with reference to the previous year's head, so for both the current head and the previous head, V9023 = 1. Part 8: PSID User Guide The PSID staff has completed a User Guide to the panel study. The volume was designed to supplement, but not replace, the documentation volumes issued for each year's data. It is published in a loose-leaf form, so that updates can easily be made as the need arises. Chapters in this User Guide cover PSID history, sample composition and weighting, how to deal with family composition and change, structure of the data tapes, study content, and other topics of interest to users. It is included with the set of documentation volumes that accompany an order for PSID tapes and can be ordered separately as well.

SECTION II TAPE CODES FOR WAVE XV Part 1: Fifteenth-Year Family-Level Tape Code The following is the codebook for the fifteenth wave of family-level data from the interview schedule. The fifteen-year individual-level codebook will be found in Part 2 of this section. The variable numbers and tape locations refer to those on the l968-1982 cross-year tape. For family-level codes for the first five waves of this study, see A Panel Study of Income Dynamics, Volume II. The remainder of the family-level codes for Waves VI through XIV will be found in successive volumes entitled A Panel Study of Income Dynamics: Procedures and Tape Codes. The dis- tributions for the following variables are weighted and based on all families interviewed in 1982. To generate distributions on field amounts, percent nonzero and mean values are provided for relevant variables. Tape Code Information The example below illustrates the information contained in this codebook for a typical variable. The numbers in brackets do not appear in the codebook, but refer to the explanations which follow this example. [1] 8209 = Cross-year variable number [2] Name ='TELEPHONE INT ? 1982' [3] 14821 = Cross-year Tape Location [4] MD=9 [5] Whether Telephone Interview in 1982 [9]----- [10]---- [6] [7] [8] 7.6 0. Personal Interview 91.4 1. Telephone Interview 0.5 2. Mail Interview 0.5 9. NA [1] Indicates the cross-year variable number. A variable number is as- signed to each item in the study. (See the introduction to the al- phabetical index, Section III, Part I, for a list of the range of variable numbers specific to each year.) [2] Indicates the abbreviated variable name (maximum of 25 characters) used in the OSIRIS system to identify the variable for the user. This abbreviated variable name is identical to the variable name 21 22 listed in the OSIRIS dictionary for this variable. It is also listed as a subheading of the printout when a variable is accessed in an OSIRIS program. When used in this manner, the abbreviated variable name can be useful as a cross-reference tool, as well as a way to avoid errors. Refer to the list of abbreviations below for some help in translating the names into sensible English. [3] Indicates the starting location and ending location for this vari- able when the data are stored on a magnetic tape in the OSIRIS for- mat. [4] Indicates the code value for missing data. In this example, code values equalling nine are missing data (MD=9). Alternative state- ments for other variables are "MD=0 or GE 8" or "MD=GE 7." In cases where nothing is written in this space, missing data are not per- mitted for the variable; values were usually assigned for such cases. Some analysis software packages (including the OSIRIS software package) require that certain types of data which the user desires to exclude from analysis can be designated as "missing data," e.g., inappropriate, unascertained, or ambiguous data categories. Al- though these codes have been defined by the PSID staff as missing data categories, this does not mean that the user should not or can- not use them in a substantive role if so desired. [5] Indicates the full question number that was used in the question- naire, as well as the exact wording of the questionnaire item; for variables not coded directly from the questionnaire, such as generated data, an appropriate title appears here. [6] Indicates the weighted percentages for each code value. Blanks in- dicate that no cases have this value. [7] Indicates the code values occurring in the data for this variable. For variables containing field amounts, refer to the notes appearing directly below items [9] and [10] for the range of data values. [8] Indicates the textual definitions of the codes. Abbreviations com- monly used in the code definitions are "DK" (Don't Know), "NA" (Not Ascertained), and "Inap." (Inappropriate). [9] Indicates the "% nonzero" value, where specified. These are weighted. [10] Indicates the "mean nonzero" value, where specified. These are weighted.

Which section is asked is based on employment status (V8374 for Heads, V8538 for Wives). Many of these variables represent the same or similar questions asked in more than one section. In analysis it might be desirable, for instance, to look at weeks worked in 1981 for all Heads regardless of whether they are currently employed or not. With the tabulations in this index, the user can tell at a glance whether or not the same question was asked of all Heads. Using the example given above, one could generate a new variable on weeks worked in 1981 simply by adding V8403 + V8482 + V8528, since one and only one of these variables contains this information for each Head, the other two containing zeros indicating that the question is inappropriate. Footnotes earmark variables where the wording or framework of the questions varies significantly from those to which they are compared. 263 264 1982 Comparative Index for Employment Sections C & F (Employed or Only Temporarily Laid Off); D & G (Unemployed, Looking for Work); E & H (Retired, Disabled, Housewife, Student, Other) Sections C, D & E are for Heads and Sections F, G & H are for Wives ____________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Employed Unemployed Retired, etc. -------------------------------------------------------- Descrip- C.
