Description

Greetings,

I'm currently unsure which weights I should use for my analysis. I'm interested in the effect of flexible work arrangements on wages and questions regarding FWAs were only asked in wave 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. Furthermore, I want to use information from all of these waves and run a random effects panel model in stata. Meaning, I am not interested in changes over time, but I cluster individuals based on time. I first thought, that I could simply use the longitudinal weight from wave 10 and copy it to every wave. But after studying the forum and guides on weighting, I found out that this would exclude everyone who dropped out before wave 10, am I right? Could I simply use cross-sectional weights of each wave that I use, or do I need to create my own weight? What would you advise in this situation?

Best regards
Johanna
