Ethiopian Rural Household Surveys
A panel household survey conducted by Stefan Dercon and his colleagues in 1989, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2004, and 2009. The details are available on his website.
Panel data conducted 1989-1995 are downloadable at the above webpage. 1997 can be obtained by contacting IFPRI.
Sample
15 villages with 1477 households in total were surveyed three times, twice in 1994 and once in 1995. Six of the 15 villages were surveyed in 1989 as well. For more detail, see this documentation. In the 1997 survey, 9 additional villages were surveyed.
Variables
Household composition, education, asset ownership, credit, non-food expenditure, off-farm activities, land use, agricultural inputs, crop outputs, livestock ownership, health, health care provision, anthropometrics, food expenditure, female and child activities, etc.
The 1997 survey collects community-level information on electricity and water, sewage and toilet facilities, health services, education, NGO activity, migration, wages, and production and marketing.
The survey in 2004 collects information on interviewees' trust in government, perception on property rights security etc., and is used by Zerfu (2006).
Since 2004, subjective well-being measures are collected, used by Alem and Colmer (2015).

Ethiopia DHS
List of DHS surveys in Ethiopia.
The years and months of interview, birth of the respondent and her children, etc. are denoted in the ETHIOPIAN CALENDAR (7 to 8 years behind the Gregorian calendar). See page 10 of Individual Recode Documentation (etir41fl.doc zipped in etir41fl.zip). Although there are 13 months in the Ethiopian calendar, however, the month variables contain values from 1 to 12 only. I suppose they enter 12 for the 13th month.
The conversion to the Gregorian calendar may be available as country specific variables (those whose name begins with letter S). But I found out that the conversion messed up for a handful of observations. The following algorithm helps you convert years and months on your own:
In the 2000 survey, the birth index and the birth order for country specific variables are messed up so that the lower indexed child is born earlier (it should be the opposite). Make sure you clean the data if you use country specific variables for children in your analysis.

If the month is 4 or less, add 7 to the year and add 8 to the month. Otherwise, add 8 to the year and subtract 4 from the month.
