In case where the own produced food items are also included in code 01 we need to abstract from OWNP
=FOODEXP+CATSER+SCHRST
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
• Products need to be restructured in order that each product represents a variable.
• All expenditure items were summated from the products data file (indicating monthly amounts in NIS).
• All expenditures were annualized (multiplied by 12).
• The labels of those 3 products (1518, 3635 ,5029) -in original survey data-
are not identified neither in the data file nor the coding sheet or later data sets, and they were not available in previous data sets, hence they could not be labeled in the data file but they were categorized among expenditure aggregates as per their codes and labeled “not defined”.
• item (2925)-in original survey data- indicated in the questionnaire as expenditure on dwelling and labeled expenditure on “olive cake”. Either the item was mislabeled or miscoded. The same item was checked in 2009 questionnaire and found with the same labeling accordingly, it was re-categorized with food expenditure.
