Data Sets

1.  There are two ways to find the data sets you need for your analyses.  You can use the LSMS Survey Finder to search for those surveys that contain the specific topics in which you are interested.

3.  For some of the surveys that have been done over the years, panel data sets that merge the multiple years of data have been created.  The researchers who created the panels have given us permission to distribute the data sets with the understanding that the documentation as provided on the LSMS web site is the only documentation that will be provided for the data sets.
