Longitudinal weight for the CPS

Hi,

I’m linking individual records across the CPS monthly samples using CPSID and CPSIDP. I’m just wondering if the MPC offers longitudinal weight. The weight variables I found on the CPS website are for cross-sectional data.

Thank you very much!

While the Census Bureau does not provide longitudinal weights, the IPUMS-CPS team is currently looking into generating longitudinal weights for the linked CPS data. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide a timeline for the release of these longitudinal weights at this time.

I’m sorry I could not be of more help.
