Unemployment Compensation - Appendix 5
Variables Created
- CV_UI_EVER
- CV_UI_YR.80-CV_UI_YR.xx
- CV_AMT_UI_YR.80-CV_AMT_UI_YR.xx
- CV_UI_SPELLS_YR.80-CV_UI_SPELLS_YR.xx
This program creates several variables describing the respondent's receipt of unemployment compensation:
- CV_UI_YR.XX - indicates the number of months in any given year (from 1980 to most recent interview year) that R received Unemployment Compensation.
- CV_UI_EVER - indicates the total number of months (from 1980 to most recent interview year) that R received Unemployment Compensation.
- CV_AMT_UI_YR.XX - indicates the amount of Unemployment Compensation received in any given year (from 1980 to most recent interview year) by R.
- CV_UI_SPELLS_YR.XX - indicates the number of spells of Unemployment Compensation that R received started in any given year (from 1980 to most recent interview year).
The program first creates a month-by-month participation array for unemployment compensation. These month-by-month variables constitute part of the event history array for program participation; see Appendix 7 for more information. After the array is created, the program merges data to create the summary variables.
