CPS DWS Programs

DOCUMENTATION

The following Stata programs create the CEPR CPS DWS Uniform Extracts. While you can just download the CEPR DWS data, these programs provide clear documentation of the CEPR DWS variables. In addition, you can edit the do-files to create your own modifications to the CEPR DWS extracts.

To run the CEPR CPS DWS programs, you will also need the CEPR CPS Basic programs and the underlying data they reference.

These programs are the major source for information on our DWS extract. The Stata code show the changes we have made to the original raw DWS variables in order to create our extract.

Please contact us with any suggestions, errors, or questions.
