Creating Imputation Status Flags for Employment Status Variables
Creating Imputation Status Flags for Employment Status Variables
Data users might wish to know the imputation status of employment status recode variables RMESR and RWKESR(i) for i=1,…,5 in the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). Prior to the 2014 SIPP panel, no such indicators of imputation status (“status flags”) were available. For the 2014 SIPP panel, the status flags for employment status recode variables that are available on the main public use data file specify that data users should create their own status flags by referring to the status flags of the component variables. Recognizing that it is difficult to create these status flags, the SAS program “AMESR.sas” is designed to create off-the-shelf status flags for employment status recode variables. The program also produces frequencies of these status flags as standard output to show imputation rates. The program requires the input dataset “XWK.sas7bdat”, which indicates which week numbers fall into each month in a year.
Please refer to the comments in the file AMESR.sas for more details.
