    Abstract

    This reproducibility package covers the computational steps required to reproduce the LSMS harmonized panel dataset, which consists of four datasets with different levels of observation: plot and crop, plot, household and individual levels. A description of the process applied to create the datasets can be found in the accompanying working paper: https://documents.worldbank.org/en/publication/documents-reports/documentdetail/099422411182437399/idu199b0eff41783d144c71bf48140c83ca123a0
