Derived variable note:

This records the ethnic group collected when a sample member is interviewed. It combines all ethnic group information gathered during UKHLS and BHPS. There are some differences between ethn_dv and racel_dv. Most of these differences are by design as ethn_dv imputes values when racel_dv is missing. But there are a few differences even when non-missing values of ethn_dv and racel_dv. The reasons for these differences are: (i) Respondents are asked the ethnic group question (racel or racel*t) only the first time they are interviewed. in a few cases, racel is asked multiple times, and in those cases racel_dv prioritises the earliest report while ethn_dv prioritises the latest report. (ii) If the respondent choses any of the "other" categories in racel/racel*t (values 4, 8, 13, 16, 97) then respondents are asked to write in the ethnic group (racelo) which is coded into racel categories and released as variables racelo_code and racelot_code. ethn_dv uses these other coded values only if racel is missing or 97 while racel_dv uses the other reports whenever available. See racel_dv.do for the do file.
