Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
This variable exists both in the household and the individual files and is necessary when merging the two files. When combining different countries or years, it is necessary to use the CASESER variable in combination with the COUNTRY, YEAR and ROUND variables in order to uniquely identify the households. When merging household and individual level files from the same dataset, this variable can be used to link each individual to the right household.

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
A household identifier is generated by ERF, using the variables period, fam_unique_number, and fam_ser_gov to uniquely identify each household.
