Description

Dear USoc Team,

Slightly more urgently than my previous question (I have reconciled it now) I was wondering what probability weights I should use?

I am conducting a cross-sectional analysis on wave G, investing the question of how alcohol consumption impacts individual earnings.

My sample is restricted to 25-65 year old and in one model only uses information from wave G, in another model information is merged from wave A to use religious variables as instruments.

I've been using the pweight = g_indscui_lw

However, I am not sure if this is correct and it substantially reduces my sample size during regressions.

I'd be grateful for any urgent advice (dissertation due on Monday)!

Thanks!
