Redmine Understanding Society User Support - Support #1990 (Resolved): urban_dvhttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/19902023-11-06T10:41:14ZCaroline Kienast von Einem
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>from the variable catalogue I can see that "urban_dv" is derived from the ONS Rural and Urban Classification of Output Areas 2001. Does this mean the UKHLS still assesses recent individual's Rural/Urban status by their closeness to urban settlements of 10,000 or more IN 2001 or has this been / is this going to be updated? <br />I think it is reasonable to assume that some areas may have experienced quiote significant population loss gain over the last 20 years.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am aware that weighting will affect and alter the sample size of the analysis, however, I am working with a pooled sample of participants from wave 3-6 and when I specify a weighted model my sample drops from ~45k to 27k. This seems quite significant, particularly once I start to investigate subgroup characterstics..</p>
<p>Would you be able to confirm whether a drop by ~20k is normal once weighting is applied ( ai am using the longitudinal wave f weight "f_indinub_lw" / whether the below STATA code makes you think it is instead an error with my coding?</p>
<p>STATA CODE:</p>
<p>//Open wave 6:<br />use f_hidp f_psu f_strata pidp f_sex_dv f_age_dv f_indinub_lw using "$inpath\f_indresp", clear</p>
<p>save "test", replace</p>
<p>foreach w in c d e {</p>
<pre><code>// Extract the variables needed<br /> use "$inpath/`w'_indresp", clear<br /> isvar pidp `w'_addrmov_dv `w'_adcts `w'_distmov_dv `w'_mvyr `w'_mvever `w'_plnowy4 <br /> keep `r(varlist)'</code></pre>
<pre><code>// save each wave specific file<br /> save `w'junk.dta, replace<br />}</code></pre>
<p>// Open the file for wave f and then add the rest of the wave specific files<br />use "test", clear<br />foreach w in c d e {<br /> merge 1:1 pidp using `w'junk.dta<br /> drop _merge<br /> }</p>
<p>save "test", replace</p>
<p>// get rid of unwanted temporary files<br />foreach w in c d e {<br /> erase `w'junk.dta<br />}</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>In the special licenced dataset that includes 2011 Census Lower Layer Super Output Areas, what spatial scale are Scottish areas shown in? The UK Datatservice side does not provide anymore details but LSOAs do not exist for Scotland. I assume it is 2001 Datazones instead?</p>

<p>Hi team,</p>
<p>I have a question about applying survey weights: <br />When I am applying the weights do I have to do this via specific commands e.g. svy prefix in stata or is it also possible to multiply my varaible of interest with the weight to create a new weighted variable that I could then use alongside commands that cannot be combined with survey weights directly.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am interested in identifying individuals who have moved home during the 11 available waves of UKHLS. As I would like pre- as well as post move data and the mymth;mvyr;mever are only asked to new joiners, I have started using the event variables to identify moves but they do not seem to be continued in later waves.</p>
<p>I tried to follow up on some of the publications linked on your website that have investigated movers but the access is always denied.</p>
<p>My questions are whether you could suggest any particular variable/s that would be suitable to derive house moves from?<br />Moreover I wanted to enquire about gaininbg access to the publications on your website. I am PhD student at the University of Cambridge if that should help to identify why my access is denied in the first place.</p>
<p>Thank you very muich in advance. I am looking forwad to hearing from you!</p>

<p>Dear Understanding Society team,</p>
<p>I have a question regarding the variable ‘mvyr’ (and mvnth, mnever), these three variables are designed to capture when a participant moved into their property yet around 90% of participants in wave 2,3,4,...11 have instead the entry ‘-8 inapplicable’.</p>
<p>Many of these participants are noted to have completed the full interview so I am unsure why the responses to these questions appear to be missing. Why would a answers for these variable be deemed inapplicable?</p>
<p>I am interested in people moving home and was intending to use these variables, are there any alternative variables that could help me to track where people moves to/from?</p>
<p>Best wishes,<br />Caroline</p>
