Survey Weights for the German Social Cohesion Panel 2021-2023 – Wave 1-3
Authors: Julian B. Axenfeld & Hans Walter Steinhauer

This report describes the construction of survey weights for the Scientific Use File (SUF) of the third wave of the German Social Cohesion Panel (SCP). It covers the recruitment wave – Wave 1 Part 1 (W1P1) – and the first three follow-up waves: Wave 1 Part 2 (W1P2), Wave 2 (W2), and Wave 3 (W3). The weighting procedure includes the construction of design weights, the estimation of cross-sectional nonresponse weights for the recruitment wave, and the estimation of longitudinal inverse staying probabilities and cross-sectional weights for the first three follow-up waves at both person and household level.
