Documentation for Stat fmcs_pos_dat.dta
Geographic Spillover of Unionism, January, 2006
Thomas J. Holmes
To construct fmcs_pos_dat.dta, I started with the population of hospitals and nursing homes in the 1996 provider of services file. Each record in the file has a unique identification number prov_num. Then I merged in information prov_union file on the number of union contracts for this prov_num. I also merged in additional geographic information.
See the data dictionary from the 1996 POS for additional information about POS variables. I include in the file a number of variables from the POS file hat I didn’t use in the paper. One variable I did use is type_control, a code that gives information about whether the unit is profit or non-profit. Below I provide the coding information.
