How to extract NSSO 68th round data
Hi there! Extracting the NSSO data is not very easy if you do not have the dictionary files which directs the STATA to split the raw data of text files into columns. One of the most time-consuming processes in all this work is nothing but making the 'do file'. In order to help other researchers, I am posting here the do file of all the rounds of NSSO 68th round for Employment and Unemployment. However, you are advised to buy the original Data DVDs from NSSO for extraction of data. Once you bought the data, replace the path of level files of this do file with the files you have on your computer. Best of luck! -------------------------- set more off infix Round_and_Centre1 1-3 FSU_Serial_No_1 4-8 Round1 9-10 Schedule_Number1 11-13 Sample1 14-14 Sector1 15-15 State_Region1 16-18 District1 19-20 Stratum1 21-22 stratum 23-24 Filler1 25-25 Sub_Round1 26-26 Sub_sample1 27-27 FOD_Sub_Region1 28-31 Hamlet_group_1 32-32 Second_stage_1 33-33 Sample_hhld__No_1 ...
