Tiivistelmä: | While wighting seem to be popular strategy for coping with panel attrition on sociological research it is not clear how effective it is in reducing attrition bias. The aim of this article is to fill this gap by giving an assessment of the effectiveness of weighting in the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). In the ECHP estimates of the distribution of social class and education appear to be dropout biased in the ECHP. The direction of the bias differs across the countries. Weighting with the ECHP longitudinal weight tends to reduce this bias to some extent. Although it unexpectedly sometimes increases it. |
