Dear all,
I want to make a matched-couple data set. All respondents are married in this
data set. What I want to know is how to drop non-matched case like the
following first household (hhid=0000045). or keep matched-couple cases.
At first I thought I can use "merge" command after separating husbands from
wives, but it seems that's not true. Would you give me some suggestions? or
where can I find out some information about that? I couldn't find it.
Thanks,
Hae-Bong
hhid: household id
sn: serial number within each household
relate: relationship (1=householder / 2=husband or wife)
. by hhid: list hhid sn relate sex
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> hhid = 0000045
+--------------------------------+
| hhid sn relate sex |
|--------------------------------|
1. | 0000045 01 01 1 |
+--------------------------------+
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
hhid = 0000223
+--------------------------------+
| hhid sn relate sex |
|--------------------------------|
1. | 0000223 01 01 1 |
2. | 0000223 02 02 2 |
+--------------------------------+
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
hhid = 0000378
+--------------------------------+
| hhid sn relate sex |
|--------------------------------|
1. | 0000378 01 01 1 |
2. | 0000378 02 02 2 |
