Dear Bridgette and Tom,

Many thanks for your reply, and apologies for not seeing it until now.

Regarding the wealth quintiles, sorry my question was unclear - I was wondering if we pool the 2014 and 2015 surveys, we now have two sets of wealth indices that were calculated separately on the national sample. I just wanted to confirm that, if we wanted to perform an analysis by wealth quintile with these pooled surveys, we would need to re-calculate the wealth index and corresponding quintiles using the combined 2014 and 2015 households? (i.e. we could not use the quintiles calculated separately in 2014 and 2015 as provided in the respective datasets)

Many thanks for clarifying,
Francesca
