Most IPUMS data transformations are performed using variable harmonization tables that specify how each value in the source data is recoded. Some variables also require programming logic in addition to the harmonization table. The harmonization documents for this variable are:
- Harmonization table
- Supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents
class Mig2_5_cr : public Editor {
public:
Mig2_5_cr(VarPointer varInfo) : Editor(varInfo) {}
void edit() {
long a = getRecoded();
switch (dataSet) {
case dataset_id::cr2011a: {

Description
MIG2_5_CR indicates the person's canton of residence five years ago in Costa Rica. Migration canton codes for MIG2_5_CR are compatible with codes for GEO2_CR.
Click on the Source Variables tab for information on place of residence for each sample year. Source variables may contain more geographic unit detail but are not suitable for cross-temporal comparison.
Comparability — General
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Where officially-defined municipalities have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring municipalities.
Boundary changes for MIG2_5_CR are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
MIG2_5_CR is not available for the 1963 Costa Rica sample.
