Description

GEOALT_NP1996_2022 reports the ecological region in Nepal where the respondent was interviewed, using units with consistent boundaries across samples.

Labels identify the modern geographic units (provinces) contained in each integrated region. Each sample also has its own non-integrated geography variable. GEO_NP1996_2011 provides spatially consistent units over time through the 2011 Nepalese survey, using a combination of development regions and ecological regions. A second integrated geographic variable for Nepal, GEO_NP1996_2016, provides spatially consistent units over time with less geographic detail, using five development regions as the units. A third integrated variable for Nepal, GEO_NP2016_2022, provides spatially consistent units over time with less geographic detail, using seven regions as the units. Each Nepalese sample also has its own sample-specific geography variable.
