This survey instrument will be used by the Government of Bangladesh to estimate reliable poverty and welfare statistics at three different levels: (i) annual estimates at the district level, (ii) quarterly estimates at the national level, and (iii) annual estimates at the division level for urban and rural areas. The sample for this survey was designed to achieve these three objectives. The paper explains how the three objectives are prioritized and how inconsistencies in achieving more than one objective can be reconciled. Further, the paper modifies the standard formulas to estimate the optimal sample size and the allocation of the sample across strata by explicitly taking into consideration the effect of clustering in the sample. 2017-03-08T21:00:35Z 2017-03-08T21:00:35Z 2017-03 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/480321488461618499/Design-of-a-multi-stage-stratified-sample-for-poverty-and-welfare-monitoring-with-multiple-objectives-a-Bangladesh-case-study http://hdl.handle.net/10986/26239 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7989 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper South Asia Bangladesh
