Details
These data seem to have come from the same source
as carData::Mroz, though each data set has
variables not in the other. The variables that
are shared have different names.
On 2019-11-04 Bruno Rodrigues explained that
Ecdat::Mroz['work'] had the two labels
incorrectly swapped, and
wooldridge::mroz['inlf'] was correct;
wooldridge matches
carData::Mroz['lfp'].
