Following is a response from DHS Senior Research Associate, Shireen Assaf:

Dear Sumon,

Following Tom's instructions, you forgot to perform one step which is important to have the total weight same in each district (i.e. divide by the number of districts which is 64). I performed this step in the attached do file, and when I use the svy with the different weights I obtain different standard errors.

Please change the paths in the do file back to your paths.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Shireen Assaf
