1.Introduction
Inmostlow-andmiddle-incomecountries,householdsurveyscontinuetobethemaindatasourceformeasuringandmonitoringpovertyandinequality.Atthecenterofpovertyandinequalitymeasurementsareincomeandconsumptionexpenditureapproaches(DeatonandZaidi2002;ManciniandVecchi2022).Giventhechallengesofaccuratelymeasuringincomeinhouseholdsurveysinlow-incomesettingswithahighproportionofthepopulationworkingininformalandseasonaljobs,theconsumptionexpenditureapproachhasdominatedpovertyandinequalitymeasurementsovertheyearsandcontinuestogarnerattentioninthedevelopmenteconomicsliterature.Acriticalcomponentofhouseholdconsumptionexpenditureisfood,whichisestimatedtocontributeabout40%oftotalhouseholdspendinginSub-SaharanAfrica(SSA)and17%inadvancedeconomies(Bogmansetal.2022).Thereisgrowinginterestinimprovingtheaccuracyandqualityoffoodconsumptionexpendituremeasurementinhouseholdsurveys(Beegleetal.2012;Christiaensenetal.2022;Battistinetal.2023;Brzozowskietal.2017),includingunderstandingthesourcesofmeasurementerrorsinthesevariables(Friedmanetal.2017).
Twomethodsaregloballyusedtogeneratehouseholdfoodconsumptiondata–diaryandrecall–thoughthedurationandreferenceperiodsvarybythecountriesadoptingeachapproach.Generally,themethodusedbyacountryisbasedontheirowndiscretionandisafunctionofwhattheyhavedoneinthepastandhavethehumancapitaltocontinuewithsuch.Whilethismayposenoproblemwithnationalpovertyandinequalityanalysisinrespectivecountriesacrosstime,internationalcomparisonbecomesdifficult,bothcross-sectionalandtemporal.Althoughcross-countrydifferencesintheseindicatorscouldbeattributedtoactualchangesinthestandardoflivingofthecountriesorvariationsinmethodology,orboth,internationalcomparisonsgenerallydonotconsidermethodologicaldisparities.

Thatnotwithstanding,thereisagrowingpushforharmonizingthemethodologyforproducingpovertystatisticstoensureregionalandglobalcomparability(ManciniandVecchi2022;Zezzaetal.2017),includingthetransitionfromdiarytorecallmethods,dueinparttothehighcostandhumancapitalrequirements(intheformofliteracyandsupervision)indiaryimplementation(Beegleetal.2012).TheEastAfricanCommunity(EAC)isonesuchregionalbodythatisrecommendingtomembercountriestousethe7-dayrecallmethodologyforfoodconsumptiondataaspartofabroaderefforttoharmonizestatisticsintheregioningeneral.ManciniandVecchi(2022)recommendthatanymethodologicalchange(e.g.,fromdiarytorecallorviceversa)shouldbeprecededbyanexperimenttoensurethatthereisnobreakinthepovertyseries.
TheseharmonizationeffortsandtheexperimentalrecommendationbyManciniandVecchiprovideaninterestingavenueforthisstudyinTanzania.SincetheworkofBeegleetal.(2012)onunderstandinghowdifferentmethodsofcollectingfoodconsumptiondatacouldimpactconsumptionaggregatesandultimately,livingstandardsmeasurements,severalotherstudieshavebeenconductedinthisarea(seefore.g.,Christiaensenetal.2022;Battistinetal.2023;Brzozowskietal2017).Thesestudiesgenerallyfocusonunderstandingmeasurementerrorsinfoodconsumptiondata,anddifferentapproachesforimprovingthequalityofmeasurement.Thereareotherstudiesthathavefieldedcountry-specificfoodconsumptiondatacollectionmethodstocomparethemwithpotentiallynewmethodstobeadoptedbytherespectivecountry(Durazoetal.2017;Backiny-Yetnaetal.2017).

2.Countrycontext–macroeconomicindicatorsandrecentpovertysurveysinTanzania
Tanzaniahasexperiencedsubstantialimprovementsinmacroeconomicindicatorsinrecentyears.Atthenationalthreshold,povertyheadcounthasdecreasedfrom34.4%in2007,toabout26.4%
in2018,anditstoodat44.9%in2018usingthe2017internationalpovertylineofUS$2.15.
PovertyinTanzania,likeothercountriesintheregion,ispredominantlyrural.SimilartootherSSAcountries,foodconstitutedabout59.9%oftheconsumptionbasketin2017inTanzania,about4percentagepointsincreasefrom2011,withruralandurbansharesbeing63.2%and52.6%,respectively(MinistryofFinance,NBS,andWorldBank2020).FoodsecurityisamajordevelopmentalchallengeinTanzania.TheFAO(2021)estimatesthatabout34.4millionTanzaniansweremoderatelyorseverelyfoodinsecurein2021,anincreasefrom25.1millionin2014.Asanagrarianeconomy,theagriculturesectorcontinuestobecriticaltoTanzania,especiallytheruralpoor.Thesectorcontributedabout30%toGDPin2021(NBS2022a),employednearly62%ofthepopulationin2021(NBS2022b),andgeneratedabout30%offoreignexchangeearnings(GovernmentofTanzania2017).
Theapexgovernmentagencies,NBSinMainlandandOCGSinZanzibar,aremandatedwiththeproductionofofficialstatistics,includingpovertyandinequalityinthecountry.TheNBSandOCGShave,inthepast,independentlypublishedofficialpovertystatisticsfortheirjurisdictionsusingdatafromtheHBSwherefoodconsumptioniscapturedusingdiaries.BesidestheHBS,theNBSandOCGSalsoimplementtheNPSaspartoftheLivingStandardsMeasurementStudyIntegratedSurveyonAgriculture(LSMS-ISA)project,whichuses7-dayrecallforfoodconsumptiondatacollection.
BoththeNPSandHBSaremulti-topichouseholdsurveys.ThoughtheHBSandNPSareimplementedbytheNBSandOCGS,thefocusofeachsurveyisdifferent–HBSprovidesdata

3.Dataandstudydesign
3.1.Data
ThispaperusesdatafromtheTanzaniaHouseholdConsumptionMethodologicalstudyconductedinMay-June2022bytheNationalBureauofStatistics(NBS)andOfficeoftheChiefGovernmentStatistician(OCGS)Zanzibar,withfundingandtechnicalassistancefromtheWorldBank.Themethodologicalstudyadoptedamulti-stagesamplingapproachdesignedtoprovideestimatesatthenationallevel,aswellasruralandurbanstratification.Thefirststageinvolvedtheselectionof143enumerationareas(EAs)spreadacrossallregionsoftheUnitedRepublicofTanzania(bothMainlandandZanzibar)usingaprobabilityproportionaltosize(PPS)approach.TheselectionensuredtheinclusionofbothurbanandruralEAsineachregion.OncetheEAswereselected,afreshhouseholdlistingwasconductedtogetthetotalhouseholdcompositionineachoftheEAs.Followingthelistingexercise,15householdswereselectedusingasystematicrandomsamplingprocedureforinclusioninthestudy,with5householdsassignedtoeachofthethreearmsofthestudy.Intheend,atotalof2,119householdswereincludedintheanalysis.Thefinalsamplewas

weightedtoadjustfornon-responseandothersamplingerrors.SeeTable0fortheresponseratesbytreatment.
ThesurveywasimplementedusingtheWorldBank’sSurveySolutionssoftwareforComputerAssistedPersonalInterviews(CAPI).Thisallowedfordailyuploadofcompletedinterviewsbythefieldteams,aswellasfrequentdatadownloadandreviewbytheNBSandOCGSheadquartersteamstoensurethequalityofthedatabeingcollected,whileprovidingfeedbacktotheenumeratorsforfurtherqualitycontrol.
3.2.Studydesign
Threeapproachestocollectinghouseholdfoodconsumptiondata–14-daydiary,7-dayrecallwithshortitemslist,and7-dayrecallwithlongitemslist–arecomparedinthisstudy.Tobetterunderstandthedifferencesinhouseholdfoodconsumptiondatacollection,thismethodologicalstudyreplicatedtheHBS2017/18(14-daydiary)andtheNPS(7-dayrecallwithshortlist)methodologies,aswellasavariant/combinationoftheNPS(7-dayrecallwithlonglist).GiventhattheHBSisthesurveythatNBSandOCGSusetoproduceofficialpovertystatistics,thediarymethodologyservedasthebenchmarkandhouseholdsassignedtothisgroupservedasthecontrolgroup,andthetwo7-dayrecallarmsarecomparedtothediary.Inaddition,allhouseholdsinthestudyreceivedaFoodAwayfromHome(FAFH)moduleimplementedattheindividualleveltocaptureexpenditureonfoodconsumedoutsidethehome,suchasfromrestaurants,joints,etc.Householdswererandomlyassignedtoeachstudyarminallclusterstoensurenon-contamination(Beegleetal.2012;Brzozowskietal2017).Thedesigndetailsofeachmethodaredescribedbelow.

3.2.1.Treatment0:14-daydiary
Thedesignandimplementationofthe14-daydiary(henceforth,diaryorT0)inthisstudyfollowedexactlythemethodologyinthe2017/18HBS(seeMinistryofFinance,NBS,andWorldBank2020).Themethodologyrequiredadministeringthe14-daydiaryaspartofamulti-topicquestionnairewithmultiplevisitstothehousehold.Duringthefirstvisit,theenumeratorintroducedthefoodconsumptiondiarytothehousehold,gavethemtrainingonhowtocompleteit,andleftitwiththehousehold/individualstocompleteonadailybasis.Dailyexpenditureinformationonfooditemspurchased,thequantitypurchasedandcorrespondingunit(includingnon-standardunits),valueofthequantitypurchased,sourceanddestinationofthequantitypurchasedwererecorded.Inaddition,householdswereaskedtorecordseparatelytheactualdailyfoodconsumption,aswellasFAFH.Theenumeratorrevisitedthehouseholdatdifferenttimesduringthe14daystosuperviseandtransfertheinformationfromthedailyrecordbookintothemainCAPIquestionnaire.Attheendofthe14days,theenumeratorrevisitedthehousehold(onthe15thday)toclosethediarywiththem.Oncetheinformationwastransferredintothemainquestionnaire,COICOPcodeswereassignedtoeachofthefooditemsthatthehouseholdindicatedtohaveconsumed/purchased.Theothermodulesinthemainquestionnairewereadministeredanytimebetweenthefirstandthelastvisittothehousehold.Thus,thenumberoffooditems,thenumberandphrasingofquestions,andmethodologyofdiaryimplementationinthisstudy(includingfrequencyofenumeratorsvisitstothehousehold)wereexactlythesameasthoseusedinthe2017/18HBS.AseparateFAFHmodulewasalsoimplementedattheindividuallevelforthisgroup.Foodconsumptionaggregateswerethengeneratedusingthequantityconsumedandpriceinformationcollectedinthismodule,whileadjustingfortemporal(withinsurveymonths)

andspatialpricevariabilities.Residentenumerators(stationedintheEAs)wereusedtoimplementthisarm,thusmakingdiaryimplementationandsupervisionmorefeasible.
3.2.2.Treatment1:7-dayrecallwithshort-listoffooditems
Thefoodconsumptionmoduleinthisarm(henceforth,recallshortlistorT1)wasimplementedaspartofamulti-topicquestionnaireina“singlevisit”tothehousehold.Duringtheinterview,householdswereaskedtorecalltheirfoodconsumptionoverthe7daysprecedingthedayoftheinterview(excludingthedayofinterview).Atotalof75fooditemswereincludedinthismodule.Therespondentofthefoodconsumptionmoduleisgenerallyanadultfemalehouseholdmemberresponsibleforfoodpurchasesandpreparation.TherespondentisfirstpresentedwithaYES/NOfilterquestionforall75fooditemsincludedinthemodule.Forthoseitemsthattherespondentindicatedtheirhouseholdconsumedwithinthelast7days(YESresponseinthefirstfilterquestion),additionalquestionsonthequantityconsumed,sourcesofconsumption(purchased,ownproduction,andgifts),andtotalvalueofpurchasesifanyofthehousehold’sfoodconsumptioncamefrompurchases.
Informationonquantityconsumedwascollectedonlyinstandardunits(exceptforeggswhere“piece”wasallowed).Inadditiontofoodconsumedwithinthehousehold,informationonFAFHattheindividuallevelwasalsocollected.Foodconsumptionaggregateswerethengeneratedusingthequantityconsumedandpriceinformationcollectedinthismodule,whileadjustingfortemporal(withinsurveymonths)andspatialpricevariabilities.Mobileteamsthatoperateinarovingmannerwereusedfordatacollectioninthisstudyarm.

3.2.3.Treatment2:Modified7-dayrecallwithlonglistoffooditems
Thismodule(henceforth,recalllonglistorT2)wasdesignedtofollowthemostwidelyused7-dayfoodconsumptionrecallincountriesthatarepartoftheLSMS-ISAproject.Householdsinthisgroupwereadministeredamodifiedversionofthe7-dayfoodconsumptionrecallmoduleinT1.Themodulecaptures7-dayfoodconsumptionrecallofquantityconsumed,andthesourcesofthefoodconsumed(purchases,own-productionandgifts).Householdswerealsoaskediftheypurchasedagivenfooditeminthelast30days,andwhereapplicable,thequantityandvalueoftheirmostrecentpurchasewithinthelast30dayswerecollected.Respondentswereallowedtoprovidequantityconsumedandpurchasedinnon-standardunits(NSU),andenumeratorsusedNSUphotoalbumswhereapplicable.
GiventheunavailabilityofconversionfactorsforsomeoftheNSUs,effortsweremadetoonlyallowrespondentstoprovideresponsesinunitsforwhichconversionfactorswereavailable.Inaddition,forthoseitemswhererespondentsreportedinNSUs,theywereaskedtoprovideanestimateofthatinstandardunits(kilograms,grams,liters,orcentilitersasapplicable)aswell.Alonglistoffooditems(167)thatconstitutedthelargestshareofconsumptioninHBS2017/18wereincludedinthisgroup.FAFHattheindividuallevelwasalsoimplementedforthisgroup.Foodconsumptionaggregateswerethengeneratedusingthequantityconsumedandpriceinformationcollectedinthismodule,whileadjustingfortemporal(withinsurveymonths)andspatialpricevariabilities.SimilartoT1,mobileteamsthatoperateinarovingmannerwereusedfordatacollectioninthisstudyarm.

3.3.2.Ensuringcomparability
Giventhatdifferentsetsofteamarrangementswereusedforthediaryandrecallcomponentsofthestudy,andthedifferentreferenceperiods,itwasvitaltoensurethattherewasoverlapinthereferenceperiodbetweenthediaryandtherecallarms.IneachEA,themobileteamresponsibleforthatEAliaisedwiththeirresidentenumeratorcounterparttoensuretheyvisittheEAandstartadministeringthefoodconsumptionmoduleatleast7daysafterthediaryhasbeenopenforthediaryhouseholdsinthatEA.Thisensuredanoverlapinthedaysforthefoodconsumptiondiaryandtherecallmodulesimplementation.ThiswasmadepossiblesincetheEA-specificresidentenumeratorandmobileteamhadthesamesupervisor.
3.4.Constructionofconsumptionaggregatesandtreatmentofoutliers
Theconsumptionaggregateswereconstructedinanidenticalmannerandguidedbythesametheoreticalandpracticalconsiderationsforallthreedesigns.Thisincludesthecomponents,the

treatmentofoutliers,theinclusionofbenefitsbeyondfoodandnon-food(i.e.,rent,housing,durables),andadjustmentsforbothadultequivalent,andspatialandtemporalpricedifferences.Forallthreedesigns,thefinalconsumptionaggregateisrepresentedbythesumofallitscomponents:i)foodconsumedinsidethehome–whetherpurchased,self-produced,orreceivedin-kindasgift;ii)foodconsumedoutsidethehome;iii)non-foodexpendituresofvariousreferenceperiods–oneweek,onemonths,12monthsinourcase;iv)educationexpenditure;v)healthexpenditure–excludinghospitalizationcosts;vi)theimputedvalueofconsumerdurables;andvii)theimputedvalueofdwellingbenefits.
Constructionofthefoodcomponentwasguidedbythreeprinciples.First,thatallpossiblesourcesoffoodconsumptionwereincluded(i.e.,purchasesinmarket,producedbyhousehold,receivedasgiftorpayment,etc.).Second,non-purchasedfoodthatwasconsumedmustbeassignedavalue.Finally,onlyfoodthatwasconsumed–notnecessarilythetotalamountoffoodpurchased–isincluded.Non-foodconsumptionisslightlymoredifficulttomeasure,andwereliedonafewwidelyacceptedassumptionstodoso.First,thatthecostsofacquisitionofanon-fooditemisequaltoitsconsumption,andsecond,thatthevalueofconsumptionofnon-foodgoodsandservicesfromownproductionorgiftsisnegligible.Finally,unlikefood,non-foodexpenditureswerevaluedatthepurchaseorself-reportedacquisitioncost,asmostnon-fooditemsaretooheterogeneoustocollectquantitiesandcalculateprices.Expenditureonsomenon-foodgoodsandserviceswasexcludedfromthecalculationoftheconsumptionaggregate,includingpaymentsofmortgagesordebts(financialtransactions),lossestotheft(neitherconsumptionnorexpenditure),expenditureonmarriages,dowries,births,andfunerals(tooirregular).Giventhatconsumptiondatafromhouseholdsurveysisbothextensiveandcomplex,dataerrorsandoutliersareexpectedregardlessofdatacollectionmethod.Thefollowingruleswereappliedtothemanagementof
