Hi forum users,

Can we use the wealth score available as continuous variable?

gen asset=v191/100000

Just wanted to check if I need to be aware when using it in pooled survey from different years !! I am using Nepal DHS from 2001, 2006, 2011.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pnep
