Study notes
The FinScope 2005 was a nationally representative survey measuring access, usage, perceptions and demand patterns on financial services and issues to create insights into how consumers source their income and manage their financial lives. The survey aimed to establish credible benchmarks and indicators of access, provide insights into regulatory and market obstacles to growth and innovation, and highlight opportunities for policy reform and innovation in product development and delivery.

Sampling
Sampling procedure
The sampling frame was based on data generated by the 2000 Zambian Population Census. The FinScope 2005 used a stratified, multi-stage cluster sampling approach. Stratification was done at the province and urban/rural level before cluster sampling was performed using enumerator areas as PSUs. 160 EAs were selected with probability proportional to size. Within each EA 25 households were randomly selected. In the third stage, one eligible (aged 16 and above) member of the household was randomly selected using a Kish grid. We should therefore expect the sample population to be equal to 4000 (160 EAs in which 25 households were selected).
The report states that, "a CSO senior statistician has assisted FinMark Trust in the cleaning and weighting of the FinScope dataset, and the comparison of the FinScope sample to the Zambia Census 2000 data to assess the representation of the FinScope sample to Zambia's overall adult population." We interpret this as meaning that the sample was weighted to match estimated Zambian population proportions based on demographic models informed by the Zambian Census 2000. It is unclear from the report the exact methodology used for the calibration of the post-stratified weights.

Deviations from sample design
The sample is two observations short of what is expected. It is unclear from the available documentation why those two observations were omitted.
Weighting
Final_weight: this weight variable appears to be the post-stratified weight. When applied, it gives population totals that agree with what we assumed is a demographic model informed by Zambian Census 2000 figures.
Final_weights_2: the application of this weight variable yields the correct proportions but does not inflate in line with estimates of target population.

Data Processing
Data editing
The original version of the Zambian FinScope 2005 had a large number of geographic variables, many of which ended up being excluded. Some were excluded because they weren't usable without a private codebook, others because they could potentially lead to identification of individuals in the dataset. The final set of geographic variables included were province, district, and an urban/rural binary variable.
The original datafile also contained a number of variables that detailed surveyor, supervisor, and visitation information. These were also excluded from the distributed datafile. Also excluded were variables used only for informing placement in the Kish grid.

Data Appraisal
Other forms of data appraisal
The data file received by DataFirst is two observations short of what was expected. That is, there are 3998 observations in the data file when there should be 4000.
