Public Use Microdata Order FormA Brief Description of the Public Use MicrodataThe Bureau of Labor Statistics sells CD-ROMs containing annual Consumer Expenditure (CE) Survey public use microdata. The CD-ROMs contain either separate or various combinations of Interview survey data, Diary survey data, EXPN files, and tabulated data (see the contents section in the table for a particular year’s exact contents). The Interview survey collects data on monthly expenditures for housing, apparel and services, transportation, health care, entertainment, personal care, reading, education, food, tobacco, cash contributions, and personal insurance and pensions, as well as income and characteristics data. The Interview survey data are organized into four major data files for each quarter: 1) FMLY-a family characteristics and income file, 2) MEMB-a member characteristics and income file, 3) MTAB-a detailed monthly expenditure file, 4) ITAB-a monthly income file, and 5) ITAB_Impute-a monthly imputed income file. The Diary survey collects data on weekly expenditures of frequently purchased items such as food at home, food away from home, alcoholic beverages, smoking supplies, personal care products and services, and nonprescription drugs, as well as income and characteristics data. The Diary survey data are organized into four major data files for each quarter: 1) FMLY-a family characteristics and income file, 2) MEMB-a member characteristics and income file, 3) EXPN-detailed weekly expenditures, 4) DTAB-annual income, and 5) DTAB_Impute-an annual imputed income file. The EXPN files contain expenditure and non-expenditure information collected directly from all of the major sections of the quarterly Interview survey. These files are more detailed than the other Interview survey files alone. Beginning in 2009, the public-use microdata include paradata files. These files include information on the survey collection process for the Interview survey, including contact history attempts. These files include information from completed interviews and eligible but non-responding sample units (Type A non-interviews), in Interviews 1 through 5 (all other microdata files only include data for completed interviews 2-5). For years prior to 1996, the microdata are available only in ASCII text format (column-parametered). Beginning in 1996, the microdata are available in ASCII column-parametered, ASCII comma-delimited, PC SAS, SPSS, and STATA data sets. All data sets are on one CD.
