Linked ATUS-CPS Supplement Files

IPUMS Time Use provides two different ways to link ATUS and CPS data.

1. Users may use the subset of pre-linked ATUS/CPS data below. These data contain weights appropriate for analysis.
2. Users may use CPSIDP which is available on both IPUMS ATUS and IPUMS CPS data files to link the data together. These data do not contain weights appropriate for analysis, but users may adjust the ATUS weights based on the documentation we provide.

Pre-Linked ATUS-CPS Supplement Files

Data files containing CPS supplement records to which ATUS identifiers have been added may be downloaded from this page. These files are intended to facilitate analyses that use CPS supplement data together with time use variables. Resources available to researchers wishing to use these data include:

• General documentation describing the linked ATUS-CPS supplement files
• Sample code for merging ATUS and CPS supplement files
  • SAS
  • Stata
  • SPSS

In the table below, click on:

• "Linked file" to obtain the linked ATUS-CPS supplement data
• "Replicate weights" to obtain additional weight data needed if you plan to use the survey procedures included in your preferred statistical package
• "Original Supplement Documentation" to access supplement documentation provided by the Census Bureau.
• "Linked File Case Counts" to view descriptive tabulations of the linked file.
