About

This R data package contains data from NBER's Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey (ASEC, i.e., CPS March Supplement) data archive, 1990-1991. All the currently available variables (as of Aug. 30, 2015) are included.

See NBER's codebooks for documentations.

Installation

Install from github with

devtools::install_github("jjchern/NBERcpsmar1990s")

Since there're 10 years of data, the package is kind of big (about 131.7 MB). It might take a while to download.

Note

The originally released 1994 ASEC file contained an error in h_idnum. The error is discussed in CURRENT POPULATION SURVEY, MARCH 1995 - User Note 2. A corrected file was also made available via NBER. The corrected file, which can be downloaded in http://www.nber.org/cps/h_idnum_mar94.html, contains two variables: h_seq and h_idnum, where h_seq is an identifying number unique to each household in a given survey, and h_id_num is the corrected h_id_num. In this data package, cpsmar94.rda contains a corrected h_idnum.
