Abstract

En estimaciones de participación laboral, basadas en muestras de diseño complejo, generalmente no se discute el uso de ponderadores. Se considera implícitamente que los datos surgieron de un muestreo aleatorio simple. Este trabajo estudia los efectos de aplicar tres alternativas de ponderación: i) no ponderar; ii) asignar pesos proporcionales al tamaño del aglomerado; iii) seleccionar una sub-muestra que permita una auto-representación. La aplicación se realiza para una onda de la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares en un modelo de ecuaciones probit simultáneas. La evaluación de las estimaciones obtenidas permite concluir que no ponderar no produce sesgos relevantes y se constituye en un antecedente empírico para estimaciones con modelos no lineales para un sistema de ecuaciones con variables dependientes limitadas. / Estimations of labor participation, based on samples of complex design, generally do not discuss the use of weights; implicitly considering that the data came from a simple random sampling. This paper studies the effects of the application of three weighing alternatives : i) not to weigh ii) to assign weights which are proportional to agglomerate size iii) to select a sub-sample which allow self-representation. The application is carried out for a wave of the Permanent Household Survey (Encuesta Permanente de Hogares - EPH) on a model of simultaneous probit equations. The evaluation of the estimates obtained suggests that not to weigh produces no significant biases and represents an antecedent to the empirical estimates with nonlinear models for a system of equations with limited dependent variables.
