Data
In 2011, the Federal Reserve Board's Division of Consumer and Community Affairs conducted its first Survey of Consumers' Use of Mobile Financial Services. It has repeated the survey each year up to 2014, which is the most recent dataset.
The 2012 and 2013 dataset and corresponding codebooks are being revised to include the weights necessary to create a panel between two years of data. The weighting variable associated with the panel respondents (also identified as the re-interviewed respondents) is weight1: "Re-interview Respondents Weights." Additionally, CaseID has been adjusted so that the respondents can be matched between years. When the 2012 and 2013 datasets were initially made public, CaseID was randomized and the panel weights were not included.
Please see "Mobile Financial Services Datasets--Panel Merge User's Guide (PDF)" for information on using the panel data.

2014 Survey Data
Revision Note: Updated 2014 CaseIDs
CaseID values in the 2014 sample have been updated to align to the new 2015 Case IDs. These updates will not affect the recontact IDs necessary to link to the 2013 and the 2015 datasets. The only respondents affected by this change are fresh contacts, ensuring that no false CaseID matches between these datasets exist.
