Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Ok -- your original query did say 2008, not 1998.

You can merge the PR and WI files using hhid and whhid, as follows:

use e:\DHS\DHS_data\WI_files\PHWI3AFL.dta, clear
rename whhid hhid
sort hhid
save e:\DHS\DHS_data\scratch\PHtemp.dta, replace

use e:\DHS\DHS_data\PR_files\PHPR3BFL.dta, clear
sort hhid
merge hhid using e:\DHS\DHS_data\scratch\PHtemp.dta

However, the KR file for this survey does not include b16. There have been several references to b16 in other forum posts. Without b16, you cannot merge the KR and PR files. Sorry about that.
