The analysis covers households in 107 communities served by 55 road links spread throughout the 10 regions of marzes (excluding the capital city Yerevan).
Outcomes are measured at the household level.
Sample survey data [ssd]
Based on annual, repeated cross-sectional surveys of households in 2007, 2008, and 2011.
National Statistical Service of Armenia
The survey is administered in person, with enumerators asking respondents each question and noting the response on paper hard copy. Copies of the instruments used in each year included in the present study can be accessed here: http://www.armstat.am/en/?nid=378
We use sampling weights constructed by the National Statistical Service that accounted for the number of households sampled and the population of communities surveyed in each road link. The total weight across households for each road link is the same for all links. Household weights were rescaled to give each road link equal weight. The exceptions are when two links are actually connected and serve the same set of communities, in which case those links are combined into road link pairs. In such cases the road link pair has double the weight of individual road links.
