Firth's correction deals with the information matrix in the i.i.d.
likelihood context. The i.i.d. assumption is explicitly violated with
the -svy-type data. Besides, the target of inference with survey data
are finite population parameters, which in this case would be the
parameters of the census logistic regression. It is difficult to say
how one could correct the finite sample bias with respect to that
parameter. I am not sure as to whether one can even find unbiased
estimating equations in this situation.
That's all theory, of course, and when the referees ask for this or
that, they may not know that such a thing does not exist. What I did
for one of my projects was to run -firthlogit- with [aw], which I
think it sort of does, and then -ereturn repost-ed the
variance-covariance matrix from -svy: logit-. This has no
justification whatsoever, of course, but that's arguably the closest
you can get.
