  • Description: Household surveys provide information on both person‐level and household‐level characteristics. To ensure consistent estimates between both levels, statistical offices often use integrated weights that are equal for all persons within a household and the household itself. However, these integrated weights ignore the individual patterns of the persons, and the heterogeneity within a household is no longer reflected. As an alternative to integrated weighting, we propose a two‐level generalised regression estimator that is capable of both ensuring consistent person and household estimates and allowing for different weights for persons within a household. A Monte Carlo simulation supports the superiority of our two‐level generalised regression estimator compared with integrated weighting.
