  • Using svy on contract

    Hi!
    I am working with ACS microdata and used the command below to create counts of foreign-born people who moved from one US state (migplac1) to another (statefip).

    * contract the data, weighting by 'perwt', keep only US states, remove people who moved within state
    contract migplac1 statefip [fw=perwt] if fb==1, zero
    keep if migplac1 != 0 & statefip != 0
    drop if migplac1 > 100
    drop if migplac1 == statefip

    I then realized I wanted to use replicate weights instead. I ran: svyset[pweight=perwt], vce(brr) brrweight(repwtp1-repwtp80) fay(.5)mse

    I would like to recreate the estimates based on the code above using replicate weights instead of perwt. How do I do this? Nothing I am trying works.
    I know svy:contract...etc does not work. Does anyone know a workaround?

    Thanks for your help!
