In both cases, high frequency panel data have been collected on a wide range of topics in a manner that is cost effective, flexible and rapid. Attrition has been problematic in both surveys,…

According to the best estimate, roughly a third of rural residents, more than a million people, live in poverty. The urban bias common too many countries h…
