I'm using the CHNS(China health and nutrition survey) data to do empirical analysis. http://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/china/data
I need to use 5 modules: ID, matching, individual data, parents data and family data.
2.
And then how to merge these data in order to get a panel data which include : the member details(father, mother, children, number of children, height of each person, and data of birth) in a family and whether involved in a survey year.
3.
There are also education, income, subsidy information, and how to merge these with those basic information above by the key of (commid+hhid+line)?
I don't know whether I express these questions explicitly, but I really helpless, pleading for help or at least some hint, both code in stata and threads will be really helpful for me, thanks very much!
PS: these are the subfiles we need
Array
I need to use 5 modules: ID, matching, individual data, parents data and family data.
- One person is defined by three levels: commid+hhid+line,which means community id+ household id+member id, respectively, concluded in each subfile. And these subfiles also give parent and chidren information :
- m12bith gives mother's hhid+line and child's hhid+line, gender and date of birth, but I don't know how to distinguish mother and children and how to match mother with their own children and date of birth
- m12relatives gives a5(relationship to head of household) and whether involved investigation in survey year(1989,1991,1993,....2011)(expressed by binary variable "surveyed,1=yes,0=no" and another column is wave--survey year)
- m12rst gives a5b(father's line number ), a5d( mother's line number), whether a child or an adult survey
2.
- m12emw( ever married women survey) gives s47a(total number of children given birth to) and s47a( number of children who died)
- m12wed gives s216&s218(child's number of brothers&sisters), s220&s222( husband's number of brothers& sisters)
- pexa( physical exam) gives everyone's height including both adult and children.
And then how to merge these data in order to get a panel data which include : the member details(father, mother, children, number of children, height of each person, and data of birth) in a family and whether involved in a survey year.
