  • Notes: Distance to fault line and epicenter are calculated using the Haversine formula. The standard census is conducted among all households in the final sample of 126 villages. The extended census is conducted among a randomly selected subset of 6,455 households. The household survey is conducted among a randomly selected subset of 2,456 households. The household asset index is the first principal component of household assets recorded in the household survey, among beds/charpais, tables, chairs, fans, sewing machines, books, refrigerators, radio/cassette recorder/CD players, televisions, VCR/VCDs, watches, guns, plows, tractors, tube well/hand pumps, other agricultural machinery, other agricultural hand tools/saws, motorcycle/scooters, car/taxi/vehicles, bicycles, cattle, goats, chickens, and mobile phones.
