Periods for personal income - fimnlabgrs_dv & paygu_dv
100%
Description
Dear colleagues,
May I ask which time periods do the following personal income/earnings variables refer to: fimnlabgrs_dv & paygu_dv
In other words, usual pay or gross earnings for which months/years (relative to interview year/date)?
Could you explain separately for BHPS and UKHLS?
Many thanks in advance,
Selçuk

Hi Selcuk,
I am afraid it is impossible to identify specific dates relative to the interview for paygu_dv, for fimnlabgrs_dv only for the annual business accounts component captured by the jsprf question. Most other source questions for these variables ask about "usual" and "on average" without any specific dates. You can check the details in the "Understanding Society and its income data" working paper https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/sites/default/files/downloads/working-papers/2019-08.pdf , particularly figures 33, 37, 38, and table 13.
I hope it helps.
Best wishes,
Piotr
