A Panel Study of Income Dynamics*

Errata Sheet for 1968-1969 Merged Family Unit Tape Code The above code is included in A Panel Study of Income Dynamics: Study Design, Procedures, and Forms, 1969 Interviewing Year (Wave II). Unbound copies of the code alone have also been distributed in conjunction with the above volume. The portion of the code beginning at V441 (page 280) serves as the cod e for the 1969 (Wave II) single year tape. And this latter portion, when used in conjunction with the supplemental code for individual variables, is the code for the 1969 individual tape.Users of these single year tapes should take particular note of the erratum concerning the omission of the weight variable (Pag e 448). The first portion of the above code (through variable 439) serves as a code for the 1968 (Wave I) single year tape.However an earlier version of the first year code alone was distributed in the report on the first wave of the study.** The errata listed here for variables through V439 apply to that volume as well but are not exhaustive in coverage since a number of errors in that code wer e corrected before the merged tape code was printed. A separate, more complete, erra ta sheet is available for the first wave code. The probability is non-zero that a number of errors in the code have still not come to the attention of our staff.

Users who detect errors in the code

not covered in the errata sheet should notify the Economic Behavior Prog ram Librarian, Survey Research Center, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan,

Ann Arbor, Michigan, 48106.

Page 165

V32Omit the last phrase in the first paragraph "and an adjustment for

farmers."The adjustment for farmers is made only when taking theratio of money income to needs (see V325).

The same correction should be made for V495, page 289.

Code 3 should read:

3.Yes, owe,but not included in mortgage (or N.A. whether included)

Page 181

V124 Required number of rooms for the family was calculated as follows: A base of 2 rooms was allowed for head and wife or for a single head.Additional rooms were then allotted as follows: One room for each single person aged eighteen and above, one room for a married couple other than head and wife, and one room for

every two children of the same sex under age 18.Children under10 were paired regardless of sex if this reduced the room require-

ment.

Page 206V216 next to last line:

The code value for "Yes, N.A. limitation on work" is 8. not 7.

V335 continued.First paragraph should read:

V57 (Help from others) is included in V335 only if the help came from inside the household.The full value of V57 is included if V291=5, and half the value of V57 is included if V291=3.

V57 is

not included if V291=1.- -3-

Page 289

V495

Omit the phrase"and an adjustment for farmers."Adjustmentsfor differential needs of farmers are made only when taking

the ratio of money income to the need standard.

the code of V361 with the addition of code values 00 for foreign country and 99 for not ascertained.

The last three digits of V788 identify the

county or foreign country using the U.S.General Services Administration Geographical

Location Codes.

V794 L9, L15-15a + How many grades of school did you (head) finish? This question was asked only of new heads of families in 1969 and the distributions listed reflect this fact.On recent versions of the tape,information on heads who did not change has been transferred into this variable, so that the education

of all heads in the 1969 sample is available in one place. Thedistribution of V794 on these tapes is thus essentially similar

to that of V313. -4-

[V491]) should be [V494]) Page 405V8671968 hours of work by family paid and unpaid Due to the omission of V520 (Hours of Work for Pay by Others in FU), V867 is not comparable to the similar variable from the first wave

(V335).The noncomparability affects only those households inwhich there were earners other than head and wife.

V868 The above noncomparability also applies to the bracket of Total

Family Work Hours in 1968.

NOTE that the difference in definition of the variable introduces a spurious component into the change variable on Total Family

Work (V949)

NOTE: The subsequent line allows 2 points for those coded 1 in V875 and the inclusion of code value 1 in the above list

would (erroneously) imply that three points were allowed for this characteristic. -6-

1 point under each of these criteria and hence get a total

of 2 points) Page 421 V906 Money Earning Acts (Current money earning behaviors)

After line 2

Wife worked more than 1,000 hours v475 > 1000 (2 points) Page 430 v949 1967-68 Change in total hours of work by family - paid plus unpaid. Due to an error in construction, 'Hours of work for pay by others' was omitted from the 1968 variable. The change variable thus has a spurious negative component. not NOTE: This error doesAaffect the variable for those families in which there were no earners other than head and wife.

is a one-digit variable.As a result,the tape locations forthe last four variables on the tape are displaced by one.Thecorrected numbers are:

(574) (1037-1038)(included only on 1969 single year tape) The above entry should be added to the end of the code for use with the 1969 tape alone. The variable number and tapelocations appropriate to the single year tape are given in parentheses. This variable is not included on the merged tape since it is identical to the first year weight variable (V439).
