USoc wave 4 investment questions
100%
Description
Hi
I have a specific question about the investment data in the USoc wave 4 household file:
The variables d_nvestbrt1 d_nvestbrt2 d_nvestbrt3 d_nvestbrt97 appear to take the categorical values 0-6 (e.g. see here: https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/dataset-documentation/wave/4/datafile/d_hhresp/variable/d_nvestbrt1). From reading the wave 4 questionnaire I can see they are based on unfolding brackets questions (nvestb1rt-nvestb5rt), but I can’t find anywhere in the documentation what values (or presumably ranges) the numbers 1-6 relate to. Could you let me know please?
Relatedly - there seem to be other variables in the wave 4 household file that are categorical but no value labels are listed (e.g. d_nvestljrt1 - but I've managed to work out what answers 1 and 2 relate to in this case)
Thanks and kind regards
Laura
