* IAF refers to the 1996/97 living standards survey. Means and scoring coefficients were estimated using sampling weights to correct for sample design. The estimation of standard errors considers the effect of clustering due to the three-stage sampling procedure.

** Data from the 1997 DHS. Asset variables and household characteristics were constructed to correspond to the variables available in the 1996/97 IAF. Means and scoring coefficients were calculated using sampling weights.

** Data from the 1997 DHS. Asset variables and household characteristics as reported in Gwatkin and others (2000). Following Gwatkin and others, the estimates for the scoring coefficients are unweighted.
