ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses an issue referred to in all the previous chaptersthe development of weights to be used in the analysis of a household panel survey. In general, weights are used in survey analysis to compensate for unequal selection probabilities and to attempt to compensate for certain types of missing data. The basic approach for developing weights for a panel survey is essentially the same as that for a cross-sectional survey but there are a number of additional complexities to address.
