This HIES data file is the major household consumption expenditures data file. It should be noted that responses refer to cash expenditures, the value of home produced items, and those received as a gift or through barter. In addition, consumption was measured during three time periods: 30, 90, and 365 days prior to the interview. For analysis purposes, researchers at the World Bank recoded consumption responses into 3 variables (VAL30, VAL90, and VAL365) and annualized them (VAL30*12, VAL90*4).
