The BDASSETS dataset was an extracted dataset based on the Bangladesh HR file. We do not have a copy of this file, but you could reconstruct it using the HR file, and recoding the water source, toilet facilities, wall, floor and other similar variables into dichotomous variables for each category. Note that not all variables in that data file are needed for the wealth index.
