An example of longitudinal LFS weights Katja.Rutar@gov.si Division for general methodology and standards
LFS panel sample sizes (number of households) for the years 2012 and 2013
Data collection • First wave – CAPI • Repeated waves – (predominantly) CATI • Nonrespondinghouseholdsfrompreviousquarters are not included in the panel sample • Responserate: in firstwave – 66%; in repeatedwaves – 83% • Averagehouseholdssizeforrespondinghouseholds ~ 2,75 members
Non-response distribution of the longitudinal sample – 3rd to 4th quarter 2013
Attrition by selected relevant characteristics of the household (completion rate)
Weighting steps • Cross-sectionaldesignweights (on strataandwavelevel) • Cross-sectionalnon-responseweghts (on strataandwavelevel) • Longitudinalnon-responsewave (on stratalevel, to responsestatuses at thefinalquarter) • Grossing up to populationtotal (wavelevel) • Calibration to demographicdata (alldatatogether, to firstquartersituation) • Calibration to mainemploymentstatuses (alldatatogether, to firstquartersituation) + Calibrationto demographicdata (alldatatogether, to firstquartersituation) + Calibrationto mainemploymentstatuses (alldatatogether, to firstquartersituation)
Longitudinal population Q – Q (July 1st 2013 vs. Oct 1st 2013)
Longitudinal population Y – Y (Oct 1st 2012 vs. Oct 1st 2013)
Basic descriptive statistics for the Q – Q longitudinal weight,compared to standard quarterly weight, 3rd quarter 2013
Changes in main employment statuses for the cohort, interviewed in 3rd and 4th quarter 2013 – using longitudinal weight

Relative standard errors for estimates of changes in main employment statuses for the cohort, interviewed in 3rd and 4th quarter 2013 – using longitudilan weight

Conclusions & Open questions • There are many possibilities to calculate longitudinal weights. • At each separate stage of weighting process some assumptions have to be taken. • Should we give priority to consistency of employment statuses, nonresponse adjustment, demographic distribution, at which point of time?
