Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
There is a secret for this survey. You have to specify another field when doing a merge. In the HH and PR files it is "shconces" and in the IR, KR, BR files it is "sconces". The following lines will work.



A few other surveys conducted about this time also have a secret identifier, but with various names that you would never guess. Fortunately when I found this one in 2015 I made a note of it.



* Specify a workspace

cd e:\DHS\DHS_data\scratch



use "...MLHR41FL.dta", clear

rename hv001 cluster

rename shconces concession

rename hv002 hh

save HR.dta, replace



use "..MLBR41FL.dta", clear

rename v001 cluster

rename sconces concession

rename v002 hh

merge m:1 cluster concession hh using HR.dta
