Hi Everyone,

I figured out how to merge the two datasets:


*Use IPUMS-DHS data to merge district information
use "$dropbox/raw_extracted/idhs_00001.dta"
gen id =_n
sort year caseid linenohhresp
by year caseid linenohhresp: gen newid = 1 if _n==1
replace newid = sum(newid)
replace newid = . if missing(caseid)
duplicates report newid
merge 1:m newid using "$dropbox/cleaning/brpanel.dta", force // this is the cleaned birth recode data I am using from DHS 
drop if _m==1


I hope this helps.

Best,
Niranjana
