All data are in the file data3xyyy.txt, which is zipped in the file lk_data.zip. The data file is an ASCII file in DOS format. Unix/Linux users should unzip it with "unzip -a". The data come from the 1993 and 1995 waves of the Dutch CERRA survey. For information on the CERRA survey that was organized by the Center for the Study of Retirement and Aging, at Leyden University in the Netherlands, in 1993 and 1995. We provide the basic data set that was used in the estimation after selection of the estimation sample of males who were not retired in 1993 and for whom the health information was complete. The file data3xyyy.txt contains one observation per line. There are 3047 observations on 98 variables. The variables are in fixed format. The variables and a brief description of their meanings, are listed below in column order. tsc93 Total HSCL score, 1993 tsc293 Total HSCL score in 1993 squared badha93 Indicator for bad health
