I am trying to estimate the gender wage gap using CPS ORG 2018 data for the US population. I have used the EARNWT so far, but is there a way I can use the replicate weights for the ORG sample? Or are replicate weights to be used with the ASEC sample alone?
At the present time the replicate sampling weights (e.g., REPWTP) are only available in ASEC samples from 2005 onward. Therefore if you are using outgoing rotation group (ORG) data, you should use the EARNWT sampling weight variable. This ORG-specific sampling weight will correctly account for selection of the sample into the outgoing rotation group.
