Steve,
What do you mean by a reference exactly? The method,
exactly, or simply the use of the method? In a paper
entitled "Are decoupled farm program payments really
decoupled" by Goodwin and Mishra (American J. of
Agricultural Economics, 2006), the authors note that to
arrive at valid SEs, they bootstrap and incorporate the
probability weights. A more common method used in the case
of
NASS (Nat'l agricultural statistics service) data is to use
the delete-a-group jackknife method. I hope this helps.
