Abstract
Ball (2010) tests for regional variation in the impact of unemployment experience on future wage growth. In order to investigate this issue, continuous work-life histories were constructed using the British Household Panel Survey. In this document I refer to the sample selection used in Ball (2010). These steps can be generalized to any sample selection strategy. A rules-based approach was adopted to ensure consistency in data set construction. Individuals' labor market histories are prone to overlap due to the timing of interviews in the BHPS varying over the survey period. Given the complexity of this procedure and to aid replication, this paper details the data preparation steps followed.
