Comparability
Apart from slight variation in question wording, PLOUGH is largely comparable across samples. Most commonly, surveys asked whether the household had a plough in general, although other samples asked about specific types of ploughs. Some samples use country-specific wording, such as the use of "charruee."
Comparability — Niger [top]
In the Round 1 and 2 surveys, the question asked whether the household had an "animal-drawn plough."
