| Summary: | The Living Standards Measurement Study
-- Integrated Surveys on Agriculture project collects
agricultural and livelihood data in seven countries in
Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to maintain representativeness
as much as possible over multiple rounds of data collection,
a sub-sample of households are selected to have members that
have left the household tracked and interviewed in their new
location with their new household members. Since the
sub-sampling occurs at the level of the household but
tracking occurs at the level of the individual, a number of
issues arise with the correct calculation for the
sub-sampling and attrition corrections. This paper is based
on the panel weight calculations for the initial rounds of
the Integrated Surveys on Agriculture surveys in Uganda and
Tanzania, and describes the methodology used for calculating
the weight components related to sub-sampling, tracking, and
attrition, as well as the criteria used for trimming and
post-stratification. It also addresses complications
resulting from members previously classified as having
attrited from the sample returning in later rounds. |
