Hello all!! I am just working on my thesis and I need a helping hand (I am pretty new in
Econometrics, and I am really stuck rn ).
I'm using SCF data.
SCF provide datasets in Full Public Data or Summary Extract Public Data. I am mainly
working with Summary, but I need to retrieve some variables from the FULL PUBLIC DATA (I
am unable to do so because Stata's restrictions in number of variables, and the same
in Gretl, the softwares I use). I have tried Stat/Transfer but the Demo mode does not
work properly.
I would really appreciate if somebody could get for me/tell me the way to retrieve the
following variables and observations for 2004 and 2007 from these datasets:
"Full Public Data Set: Stata format" for 2004" (
https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scf_2004.htm )
"Full Public Data Set: Stata format" for 2007 (
https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scf_2007.htm)
CASEID
AGE
Y1
X820
X828
X920
X1020
X9154
X9155
X9156
Are you sure those variable names are right? I tried downloading
scf2004s.zip and unzipping it to get p04i6.dta, which opened OK in
gretl: 22595 observations on 5685 variables. I could find, and store
in gretl's gdtb format, YY1 (CASE ID), Y1, X820, X828, X920 and X1020
but there were no variables named X9154, X9155 or X9156. (X9151, X9152
and X9153 were present.)
Much the same story with the 2007 data (scf2007s.zip -> p07i6.dta)
except that in addition it did not include X828.
