The attached file is from another question in another section of the forum (Data use in Stata). It demonstrates merging WI and IR files from Ethiopia.

The file worked adjusting for South Africa file names.

My only concern: the IR file contained fewer observations than the WI file. How is this possible? Are the merged data for the new IR file (Original IR + WI) reliable?

Thank you for the Stata help!
