Hi,

I am trying to merge the PR and the BR datasets for India. I used the variables v001, v002, b16 in the BR file and hv001, hv002, hvidx in the PR file to merge the data. Furthermore, I dropped b16=0 and b16=. before the merge. However, when I try to perform the merge, some observations from the BR file do not get merged to the PR file. I understand that many observations in the PR file will not get merged to the PR file as some people born have died or are not living in the household. But I am confused regarding why some observations in the BR file will not get merged to the PR file. Thank you
