Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The value of this variable should be constant for the same dataset, indicating one type of data (cross-sectional or panel).
This variable might be useful when combining datasets to identify different types of data before using them for analysis.


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Generated by ERF taking the code 2 since the data is panel.
A check on paneled households and individuals was conducted.
Some inconsistencies were detected across rounds in paneled observations.
Only some cases could be corrected, particularly in time-invariant characteristics, however the most appropriate method to deal with the rest was left to the user's judgement.
