Subject: OT: Panel data from 1985 to present?

Dear AHS users,

Could anybody know if AHS (National and Metro)has gone back to the same
housing units since 1985? Is it possible to keep track of the same units
from 1985 to present if I follow the control numbers of the units in
the surveys?

I have looked at the pre-and post-1997 codebooks, but I am still not
sure if the pre-and post-1997 data sets are completely different sets of
samples or they can be panel data.

I would appreciate anyone answering my question.

Dear AHS Users,

Thank you very much for all of you who answered my question so quickly.
Here is the summary of answers. We can track a house over time in the
pre- and post-1997 National surveys, but there is some discontinuity in
the Metro samples.

I will take a look at the Components of Inventory Change (CINCH) reports.


Greg,

Are the weighting issues you raised discussed in these CINCH reports? Is
there any documentation to learn the weighting issues with the AHS panel
analysis?


Thank you.


Kimiko

Subject: Employment status variables in the pre- and post- 1997 AHS data

Dear AHS Users,

Would you answer one more question?

I am looking for variables that show employment status of householders
(employment status, hours worked, worked at all last week etc.).

For the post-1997 data,
HHWLINEQ (householder worked at all last week) shows employment status;
"hours and days worked last week" seems to be only for the people who
worked "at home."

For the pre-1997 data (more specifically, at this moment I am looking at
the 1985 National AHS),
I cannot find any variables that show employment status of householders
as far as I can read the pre-1997 survey codebook.

Could somebody confirm this point that there is no employment status
variable in the pre-1997 data?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
