2.10 Basic Data
2.10.1 Weighting data The household expenditure structure is used as the weighting pattern for CPIs. The ILO guidelines merely state that weights are mainly derived from household expenditure surveys (also referred to as household budget surveys) and that such surveys should be representative of household size, income level, geographic location, socio-economic group and any other factors that may have an impact on household expenditure patterns in a country. Preferably such surveys should cover a whole year to avoid seasonal effects. Weighting is a top-down process, i.e., the total amount of consumption expenditure is divided between the highest level headings of the classification system, e.g., the twelve categories of COICOP. The resulting weight for each category is then divided between the sub-categories, and the weight of each sub-category is divided between the groups, and then the items that have been identified as important by the national statistical institute. Inevitably there will be a limit to the number of item headings that can be included. Thus, the item headings that have been identified act as proxy representatives for those items not identified. The aggregation process may also involve the application of weights not derived from either the HBS or the national accounts. For example, weights that relate to outlet type (derived from market research data) or regional weights (ideally derived from HBS, but in some cases population is used) may be used. As Table 6 shows, in all OECD Member countries except France and Sweden, weighting data are derived directly from a household budget survey (HBS). France and Sweden derive weights from their national accounts expenditure structures (which are generally based to a large extent on HBS data). As MEI Methodological Analysis - Supplement 2 © 2002 38 described earlier, differences in national accounts and HBS weights will be due to coverage differences such as the fact that national accounts weights include institutional households and imputed expenditures for consumer goods and services acquired as income in kind or through barter 32 . The survey methods used in different countries are briefly described in the companion methodological publication Main Economic Indicators: Sources and Definitions.
