Abstract

Since EU-SILC was launched, much attention has been paid to sampling errors. The computation of standard errors for estimates based on EU-SILC faces a number of challenges. In this article, we propose a simple approach for standard error estimation based on basic statistical techniques. The proposed estimator is simple and flexible, now theoretically justified. It can accommodate nearly all the sampling designs and the target indicators used in EU-SILC regardless of their complexity. The functions vardcros and vardchanges (on the software R base) were made for the proposed approach.
