Should I use the continuous wealth index (sv270s in PR file) or wealth index factor score (sv271s in PR file) to compute the concentration index? I am doing a state-specific analysis, and my unit of analysis is individual. I guess I should use the wealth index factor score to measure an individual's socioeconomic status. Am I right this way?
