Greetings,

As part of a project on issues of social inequality and basic services in Latin American cities, a household survey was carried out in two cities (N1=1200 households, N2=1426 households). Each sample was stratified according to the particular socioeconomic composition of its city (i.e. according to census-estimated proportions of "lower," "lower middle," "middle," and "upper middle" households in each city's population). I want to analyze the combined data. While of course I need to weight the combined data set to compensate for the unequal sizes of N1 and N2, how do I weight the combined data in view of the fact that each sample has its own particular stratification weights?

Thanks,
Rick
