Description

Does anyone have suggestions on how to make household incomes comparable across years in the BHPS survey? Is there a variable in the dataset that are transformed to make income comparisons across years? Or something like a consumer price index to make the transformation myself?

Thanks.

Dear Seok Woo Kwon,

We do not include an adjustment factor for comparability purposes across time. It should be straightforward to make the adjustment using the Consumer Price Index series:
