Introduction
Should proxy interviews be allowed for subjective variables such as ‘well-being’ or personal variables such as ‘health’ or 'deprivation'?
Regressions in order to evaluate to what degree proxies can affect the results for subjective variables

5. Proxy: logistic regression
Last regression: another small model
Dep variable: ph030 (health) (slightly recoded, (1),(2) -> (0) and (3) ->(1)
Results: proxy has an effet

6. Proxy: Severe material deprivation
6 logistic Regressions with PD20, PD30, PD50, PD60, PD70 and PD80 as dependent variables
Proxy variable is significant in most models PD70: significant at 1,4% (highest p value, other pvalues below 0,001)
Coefficients always slightly positive: it means that higher use of proxy will lead to more material deprivation
