crosswalk: A command for fast and flexible bulk recoding

Ben Jann

German Stata Conference 2026 from Stata Users Group

Abstract: In this talk, I will present the crosswalk command, a data management utility for fast table-based recoding. The command comes with predefined crosswalk tables for common recoding tasks related to occupational classifications, for example, to translate ISCO codes (international standard classification of occupations) into ISEI scores (international socioeconomic index of occupational status), OEP scores (occupational earning potential), or ESeC classes (European socioeconomic classification). However, it is also easy to define, manipulate, and apply custom recoding tables. I will also briefly explain how crosswalk is implemented, present its syntax, and then illustrate its use with some applied examples.
