Summary
The revised and enlarged edition of
Event History Analysis with Stata
by Hans-Peter Blossfeld,
Götz Rohwer,
and Thorsten Schneider (2019).
contains many examples and exercises on such topics as handling episode data, estimating survivor functions and cumulative incidence functions, or working with parametric and semiparametric transition rate models. In addition, the book offers a chapter on sequence analysis by Brendan Halpin.
The data set rrdat1.dta used in the examples throughout the book are taken from the German Life History Study (GLHS) but anonymized for data protection purposes. The GLHS was conducted by Karl Ulrich Mayer, as principal investigator at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and Education in Berlin. The original data collection was funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). For details on rrdat1.dta see chapter 2 in the book.
The new edition gives the opportunity to apply and intensify knowledge on event history modeling. The Appendix contains many exercises in which the dependent processes are job exits and entry into first marriage. Therefore the data set rrdat2.dta has been created. For his examples on sequence analysis with Stata, Brendan Halpin also uses this data set.
The data set rrdat2.dta is a small sample of so-called Starting Cohort 6, version D_7-0-0 (doi:10.5157/NEPS:SC6:7.0.0), that has been anonymized in several ways. It is restricted to persons born and living in West Germany who entered the labor market at least once. It covers 1,935 individuals with 7,392 job spells.
Due to data modification caused by anonymization, rrdat2.dta cannot be used for substantial research. If you have interest in NEPS data, please use the Scientific Use Files by signing a Data Use Agreement. Note: None of the cases in rrdat2.dta can be matched to any case in the Scientific Use Files, as data are completely anonymized.

The 17 variables in rrdat2.dta are:
| id |
Individual identifier. |
| noj |
The serial number of a job. The first job of an individual always has the value 1. |
| start_y |
Calendar year of job start. |
| start_m |
Calendar month of job start (from 1 for January to 12 for December). |
| fin_y |
Calendar year of job end. |
| fin_m |
Calendar month of job end (from 1 for January to 12 for December). |
| sex |
Gender of individual: 1 for men, 2 for women. |
| i_y |
Calendar year of last interview. |
| i_m |
Calendar month of last interview (from 1 for January to 12 for December). |
| b_y |
Calendar year of birth. |
| b_m |
Calendar month of birth (from 1 for January to 12 for December). |
| mar_y |
Calendar year of marriage; if not yet married than -2. |
| mar_m |
Calendar month of marriage; if not yet married than -2. |
| isei08 |
Status of current job measured by the International Socio-Economic Index (ISEI), version 2008; unidimensional scale with low values for low status and high values for high status. |
| ftpt |
Job volume at the start of the current job: 1 refers to full-time, 2 refers to part-time employment. |
| edu_cas |
Education of individual; last recorded information in the survey. The coding scheme follows the classification developed in the project Comparative Analysis of Social Mobility in Industrial Nations (CASMIN) (Braun and Müller 1997). Due to low case numbers and data protection, CASMIN 1a, 1b, and 2b are aggregated into one category here. |
| edu_yoe |
Education of individual; last recorded information in the survey. The coding assumes 9 years of school for those with a lower secondary level qualification without further training to 18 years for those with a university degree (for details see also Zielonka and Pelz 2015). |
