Data file: Yearly Income Dataset for the West Bank & Gaza Strip for Q1 - Q3, 202

yincome_3Qs ( Yearly income file - Palestine, first three quarters 2023 )
yincome_3Qs mirrors the structure of mincome_3Qs but covers the entire 12 months preceding interview. It records eleven annual income streams (I15_2_1 … I15_2_11) - wages, self-employment surplus, domestic and foreign remittances, property & investment returns, pensions, social transfers - in original currency and shekel terms, plus totals (I15_Total, I15_Total_NIS). The unique person key (ind_ID) lets researchers aggregate to household level or correlate yearly

West Bank + Gaza (First Three Quarters 2023 microdata)
Weight variables: weight3q_trim (final calibrated & trimmed probability weight for the pooled Q1-Q3 sample) and its mean-one counterpart rw. Because Q4 fieldwork in Gaza was cancelled due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, seasonality could not be modelled for Gaza; therefore, key expenditure- and consumption-based indicators were released only for the West Bank, not for Gaza or the national level.
