Hello,

I am using the Peruvian DHS from 2008 to 2012. I have compared the datasets from the Peruvian statistical agency (http://iinei.inei.gob.pe/microdatos/) with the datasets from the DHS website and I have found some differences. For instance, I have some small differences in the number of observations or I have differences in missing values coding. The main difference is about the wealth index variable. The coding in both datasets are totally different. Do you have an explanation for these differences?

Thank you in advance for your help,
