Longitudinal Dimension of the Austrian LFS
• Is not in focus so far
• Depends on the survey design
• Only available for a subset of LFS sample
• Every quarter: exchange of 1/5 of the survey
• Household stays 5 consecutive quarters in the survey

• Cross sectional point of view: quarter consists of 5 waves (rotation numbers)
• Longitudinal point of view: a rotation number appears in 5 quarters
• Q-Q-Changes: approximately 4/5 of the LFS sample can be used• Y-Y-Changes: approximately 1/5 of the LFS sample can be used

Longitudinal Analysis
Can be based on different subsamples:
•One removes all incomplete cases for the flow analysis, i.e. flows are based on the subsample of persons who are successfully surveyed in both quarters, q(t) and q(t+1) (immobile persons).
•All persons who are successfully surveyed in one quarter, q(t) or q(t+1) and do not regularly rotate in or out, are used (mobile + immobile persons). Potentially missing information of the second q(t+1) and first quarter q(t) respectively is imputed.
www.statistik.at slide 6 | April 18, 2023
Bias Analysis
Are there any differences between mobile and immobile persons in their sociodemographic structure?
•Linking to administrative data from Central Population Register
•Information of mobile persons is only available for one quarter: first q(t) or second q(t+1).

Imputation
Random hot deck imputation of important labour market characteristics
Selection of domain variables (max. 7)
Based on bias analysis • Gender, age, nationality • Administrative labour status (if available)
of both quarters/years• ILO labour status of `complementary´
quarter/year (if administrative labour status not available)
Longitudinal concept Currently imputed variable pertaining to `complementary´ quarter/year
Multinomial logit model (forward selection)
7th (last) domain variable for cases with no administrative labour status

Weighting: Longitudinal Weights
www.statistik.at slide 14 | April 18, 2023
Weighting: Longitudinal Weights
Two versions of weights:
1. Reducing the bias: not calibrating against the ILO labour market status
2. Providing consistency between stocks and flows: additionally calibrating against the ILO labour market status (LMS adj)
Key figures for ILO labour market status stem from published quarterly results of the microcensus -> projected data
www.statistik.at slide 15 | April 18, 2023
Weights 1: Reducing the bias
Base weights calibrated against marginal totals for q(t) and q(t+1) consecutively
1.Population by NUTS-2 region, sex and age
2.Population by NUTS-2 region and nationality
3.Weights corresponding to people born, deceased, immigrated or emigrated in q(t) are calibrated against the natural population change and the migration statistics
www.statistik.at slide 16 | April 18, 2023
Weights 2: Consistency of stocks and flows
Base weights calibrated against marginal totals for q(t) and q(t+1) consecutively
1.Population by NUTS-2 region, sex and age
2.Population by NUTS-2 region and nationality
3.Population by nationality, sex, age and ILO labour status
4.Weights corresponding to people born, deceased, immigrated or emigrated in q(t) are calibrated against the natural population change and the migration statistics

Comparison
Comparison of weighting options 1 and 2 for cross-sectional data Q4 2011 of population living in private households aged 15-64 without persons doing their military or civilian service according to ILO labour status.

Comparison
Comparison of weighting options 1 and 2 for flows corresponding to longitudinal data comprising Q4 2011 and Q4 2012, i.e. the population living in private households at both time points, aged 15-64 and not doing their military or civilian service according to ILO labour status.
www.statistik.at slide 19 | April 18, 2023
Summary
• Obvious differences between immobile and mobile persons for demographic characteristics and administrative labour status
• Random hot deck imputation of missing data
Longitudinal concept incorporated Use of administrative labour status
• Weighting option 1 preferred
Bias reducing Not adjusted to ILO Labour Market Status -> not providing
consistency between stocks and flows
