Datasets and Constructed Variables Guide for “Demography and Savings: Evidence from a Russian Household Survey”

This dataset supports the paper “Demography and Savings: Evidence from a Russian Household Survey” and is based on microdata from the All-Russian Survey of Consumer Finance conducted by the Bank of Russia. It includes two household-level datasets: HH_dataset_base_allwaves_Mar2026.dta and HH_dataset_base_2022_Mar2026.dta, constructed by merging household and individual questionnaires using unique survey identifiers. The datasets differ only in the definition of the household head: in the first, the head is defined as the adult member with the highest personal income, while in the second, it is based on the respondent’s self-identification in the 2022 survey wave. Both datasets contain all regression-ready variables used in the empirical analysis. The construction of variables and coding procedures are documented in the accompanying do-files (Demography_and_Savings_part1.do and Demography_and_Savings_2022_part2.do), while detailed descriptions of constructed variables and their components can be found in the accompanying “Datasets and Constructed Variables Guide”.本数据集支撑论文《人口结构与储蓄：来自俄罗斯家庭调查的证据》，其数据源自俄罗斯中央银行（Bank of Russia）开展的全俄消费者金融调查微观数据。数据集包含两份家庭层面数据：HH_dataset_base_allwaves_Mar2026.dta与HH_dataset_base_2022_Mar2026.dta，二者均通过唯一调查标识符合并家庭与个人问卷后构建得到。两份数据集仅在家庭户主的定义上存在差异：第一份将户主定义为个人收入最高的成年家庭成员，第二份则依据2022年调查轮次中受访者的自我申报身份确定户主。两份数据集均包含实证分析中所用的全部可直接用于回归建模的变量。变量构建与编码流程的相关说明已附于配套do文件（Demography_and_Savings_part1.do与Demography_and_Savings_2022_part2.do）中，而构建变量及其组成部分的详细描述则可查阅配套的《数据集与构建变量指南》（Datasets and Constructed Variables Guide）。
