GSGVP 2010 Variables

Question

We are working with the 2010 CSGVP data at the moment, and I understand there is a corresponding data file in which the missing variables have been imputed for the same data. This is not a public released file. Is there a way to gain access to it because the variables we are interested have many missing values.

Answer


When the researcher says they are working on the 2010 CSGVP data, are they working with the PUMF or the Masterfile (in the RDCs)? The files staged for the RDCs do not include declared missing values.

The missing values for the 2010 CSGVP for the PUMF are declared in the syntax files.
