Dear User,
Here is a response from one of our experts, Dr. Shea Rutstein:

We have calculated separate wealth indexes for Ethiopia and then combined them into a composite index. The separate indexes also have separate quintiles. I am attaching the score file and the SPSS syntax. By the way, it is correct to use the weight variable.

The format for the score file:

Variable Rec Start End Format
QHCLUST 1 1 3 F3.0
QHNUMBER 1 4 6 F3.0
combscor 1 7 17 F11.5
Ncombsco 1 18 20 F3.0
URB1 1 21 31 F11.5
NURB1 1 32 34 F3.0
RUR1 1 35 45 F11.5
NRUR1 1 46 48 F3.0

RUR1 is the rural wealth score and NRUR1 is the rural wealth quintile.

If this has not answered your question adequately, please reply

Thank you!
