Comparative Living Standards Project

The Comparative Living Standards Project (CLSP) provides an on-demand query system for a database of harmonized variables from LSMS Surveys to facilitate comparative research. Users can do "on-line" analysis with results provided in easily downloadable Excel files. Users wanting only simple analyses can use standard indicators to do basic analyses, and users wanting more creative control can create their own variables through combining the harmonized variable.
