Supplemental Codebook for the Survey of Landlords, Site II, Wave 2. Housing Assistance Supply Experiment

摘要

This codebook describes a set of variables derived from data collected in the second survey of landlords conducted in St. Joseph County, Ind., as part of the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE). Survey data were gathered through interviews with owners of rental properties or their representatives on characteristics of the owner, owner's perceptions of the neighborhood housing market, owner's management policies, mortgage financing, owner's income and expenses, owner's attitude toward the allowance program, and other factors. The derived variables consist of (1) recodes, aggregations, and other transformations of the original responses; (2) data collected in a related survey or found in another data base relating to the same housing unit or respondent; and (3) sample selection indicator. For each derived variable, the codebook discusses the construction, specifies all permissible responses, and provides a tabulation of the unweighted responses recorded in the final master file of survey records. Extensive tables, footnotes, a glossary, an index of variables, and appendices presenting survey audit codes, a debt algorithm, and a tenant utility algorithm are included.
