Hi,
Thank you for your quick reply. I am sure I need to do the merge since although both CR and IR contain the domestic violence variables, I need the data for currently unmarried women from the IR file, who make up around 30% of the total women's sample in the 2005-2006 survey. Therefore, using IR as the base file rather than CR is necessary to ensure I don't lose important data.
I merged the datasets for 2005-2006 by v001, v002, v003 and v024 (which took into account the primary sampling unit, household number, respondent's/ individual's line number and state).
The issue only arises for the BR, HR and IR files for the years 2015-2016 (I only need the IR file), and gives the same error when I try to import the dataset as a .dta file rather than a .dat file. I was wondering if there's any way I can import the IR file to R using another method?
Thank you for your help!
