Abstract:
|
In this paper longitudinal respondents are considered as members of a panel survey sample for whom data are collected every wave of a given period under consideration, and members of the panel for whom there is nonresponse for at least one wave of the designated period are termed longitudinal nonrespondents. To compensate for the effects of wave nonresponse and attrition, the weights of the longitudinal respondents can be adjusted. This paper will discuss criteria and strategies for the selection of adjustments for cross-sectional estimates, and provide the theoretical framework for an evaluation of selected weighting alternatives designed to account for wave nonresponse in the estimation of longitudinal variables. Empirical results from the 1996 and 2001 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation are presented for two weighting cell adjustment alternatives.
