Abstract: This paper explains a weighting procedure used to produce representative statistics for matched respondents from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) of the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS). The matched respondents are those with observations in the ASEC supplement for following the year, which is less than 50% of the original sample. The weighting scheme presented here is similar to that used to create the Census Bureau's CPS outgoing rotation group weights, where observations are reweighted using variable estimates from the full ASEC supplement by labor force status, race and sex. Additionally, a weight adjusted using the following years person weight is calculated and proposed for longitudinal analysis.
