Description This compressed file archives 42 program files (written for the Stata software) which were used to create the constructed data files. Our assumption is that most users will prefer to construct their own estimates of household income and expenditure from the raw data and not rely on the constructed data available at this site. These users will not want to download this file, the readme.txt file, nor the Group D data files. For those users who do choose to use the constructed data (Group D) available at this site, these program files (along with the readme.pgm file) will allow the user to determine what assumptions were made in the construction of the data files.
