Cross wave with hhresp datafile
50%
Description
Hello, I have an question about the cross variable identifier in the dataset. For reference I am using the datasets SN 6668 AND 6614 (UKdataservice).
I am conducting a difference in difference analysis using wave 1 and 10 and the datafiles of interest are indresp and hhresp. I realised there is a pdip in indresp datafile, but not in the hhresp. So I have linked the hhresp file of the same wave to the indresp file using the wave identifer a_pdip. I am wondering that beacuse I have linked these two datafiles together using the wave identifier, would I encounter issues when do a dif in dif analysis between wave 1 and 10 because there is not a pdip for the variable I am using from the hhresp file or will it be okay because it is already linked?
Please let me know and I look forward to your response.
Best,
Adele Chapman
