About 2010 CE PUMD
The 2010 PUMD did not include many significant changes from 2009. Some of the
highlights and changes in the 2010 PUMD were:
-
Beginning in 2010Q2, the FPAR paradata file included binary variables indicating whether the respondent had used bills, receipts, or other sources to answer expenditure
questions during sections 1-10 of the Interview.
- Beginning in 2010Q1, the variable that estimated "usual monthly amount of transit subsidy" (TRANSUBX) was deleted in the XPB EXPN file. JSUBSIDY, "quarterly
value of transit subsidy received," was added to the XPB EXPN file in 2010Q1.
- No changes were made to the Diary files.
