Hi there,

I am working with the Ethiopian DHS (2000, 2005, 2011) and I have just realized that the wealth index was not constructed in the same way throughout the years. For instance, the WI of DHS 2000 ranges from -1 to 4 while DHS 2005 and DHS 2011 have a much broader range of values. How can I compare them? Are the WI of DHS 2005 and DHS 2011 comparable/constructed following the same method?

Thanks!

Daniel.
