Raw data files 1989 Survey (IFPRI)

The files are available for downloading as a Zip archive of the 1989 raw data files (412KB).

The original questionnaire consisted of a tailor made questionnaire per Peasant Association. The raw data files are organised as such, that is per survey side. The files are in SPSS/PC+ format (extension .sys) and contain a data dictionary. If you have SPSS, it is easy to know the content of the files. To find out which variables each file contains, 1) start SPSS, 2) choose 'file' from the main menu, 3) from the drop down menu, choose 'Display Data info', 4) in the interactive window choose the filename and file type, and choose 'Open'. A list of the variables and the questions they refer to appears in the output window.

The table underneath gives brief description of what each file contains. To save a long process of data restructuring, you can also download a more user friendly reorganised version of the data. This reorganised data is available in the 1989 survey base data files. If you don't have SPSS, we recommend you using the reorganised data, for which an extensive description is available in the data documentation. The exact phrasing of the questions can be found in the 1989 Questionnaire.
