Computes a monthly self-employed profit variable for self- employed respondents who draw up profit and loss accounts. Inapplicable for those who are not self-employed, and the self employed who do not draw up accounts. (cf. NJSPAYG). Includes imputed data. As this is an individual level derived variable, the imputation flag variable (here NJSPROFI) takes the value 1 if imputed, and 0 or -8 otherwise. See notes on Imputation in Vol. A. This variable only shows positive profits. Where the variable NJSPRLS indicates that the amount is a loss, then NJSPROF takes the value 0, and the compute amount is given at NJSLOSS.
