Hi all,
I am relatively new with using Stata. I am researching the electoral support of liberal parties in Western-Europe. One of the hypotheses I am testing is whether certain occupations are more likely to vote for liberal parties than others. For testing this I want to use the sophisticated class schema of Daniel Oesch (2006). Unfortunately, this class schema is not included in one of the indicators of the European Social Survey that I use as my main dataset. However, there is a Stata-package available by Kaiser (2018) that recodes existing ISCO categories into the class schema of Oesch.
I installed the module of Kaiser (2018) by typing "scc install oesch" (I uploaded the full syntax below, but it is also accesible through the website link). I ran a very complex and long syntax, provided by the module, but now I am a little bit stuck. Because I would have expected a new variable to be generated called Oesch_16 (16 because Oesch's class schema involves 16 categories), however, there is no new variable to my dataset added after I ran the syntax. Right now it looks like I only installed the program, but that I can't use it as an individual variable for my analysis. My question therefore is: how can I properly use packages in Stata (just like Oesch), whereby I can use it as new variables(s) for my analysis. Is there something I am missing?
Kind regards,
Jinne
