Labor Market Panel Survey, ELMPS 2018

The file "elmps 2018 xs v2.0 all.dta" contains all variables.

"elmps 2018 xs v2.0 all.dta" data file contains more than 3,000 variables. If you are using STATA IC, this file has too many variables to open. Use "elmps 2018 xs v2.0 pt 1.dta" , "elmps 2018 xs v2.0 pt 2.dta" and "elmps 2018 xs v2.0 pt 3.dta" instead. If you can open a file with more than 3,000 variables, you can just use "elmps 2018 xs v2.0 all.dta."

Panel data
========
Files: elmps 2018 panel 98_18 v2.0.dta

NOTE: The data are constructed as panel data (wide format) directly from the repeated cross section. Variables repeat as 'variable'_# where # is round, i.e. pn_98, pn_06, pn_12, pn_18 for the person numbers in 1998, 2006, 2012 and 2018 for an individual. If an individual is not present in a round, the variables for that round will be missing.
Variables repeat as 'variable'_# where # is wave, i.e. pn_06, pn_18 for the person


Important Variables:
============
Findid: unique individual identifier from when individual was first observed
hhid_#: unique household identifier, begins with two-digit round number (88, 98, 06, 12)
indid_#: unique individual identifier, begins with two-digit round number (88, 98, 06, 12)
panel_wt_98_06: panel weight for analyzing panel data with individuals observed in 1998 and 2006
panel_wt_98_06_12: panel weight for analyzing panel data with individuals observed in 1998, 2006, and 2012
panel_wt_06_12: panel weight for analyzing panel data with individuals observed in 2006 and 2012
panel_wt_12_18: Panel weight for analyzing panel data with individuals observed in 2012 and 2018
panel_wt_06_12_18: Panel weight for analyzing panel data with individuals observed in 2006, 2012 and 2018
panel_wt_98_06_12_18: Panel weight for analyzing panel data with individuals observed in 1998, 2006, 2012 and 2018
attr_98_06_12_18: categorizes individuals based on whether they were in 1998, 2006, 2012 and 2018



Note: Data is not self-weighted. For details on the creation of sample weights, see: Krafft, C., Assaad, R., and Rahman, K. (2019) . Introducing the Egypt Labor Market Panel Survey 2018. Economic Research Forum Working Paper No. 1360

• The data are long structure, observation is an individual & year combination

Important Variables:
==============
1- round: Identifies wave of survey (1988, 1998, 2006, 2012, 2018)
2- indid: unique individual identifier
3- hhid: unique household identifier
