Full Description
Each SIPP panel is divided up into four rotation groups and one rotation group is
interviewed each month. This variable classifies each SIPP respondent into a particular
rotation group and enables researhers to tell which month a particular respondent
was asked the topical module questions. For example, if a person is in the first rotation
group of the 1990 panel, his/her wave 1 interview covered January 1990-April 1990
and the wave 2 interview covered May 1990-August 1990. The wave 2 topical modules
would have been asked in September 1990 at the time of the wave 2 interview. Schedules
for interviewing rotation groups by panel can be found in the SIPP Users' Guide.
