The objective of the SEP is to help to implement the ESS sampling principles as workable sampling designs in all participating countries.  \nContents  \n1 Principles for Sampling in the ESS 2  \n1.1 Developing a Sampling Design and Sign-O􀀋 Procedure ........... 2  \n1.2 Basic principles for sampling in cross-national surveys ............ 3  \n1.3 Sampling ..................................... 4  \n1.4 Coverage of the Target Population ...................... 5  \n1.5 Sample Size ................................... 6  \n2 The Sign-o􀀋 Form 10  \n2.1 Description of the target population ...................... 10  \n2.2 Sampling Design ................................ 10  \n2.3 Sample Size ................................... 11  \n2.4 SDDF ...................................... 12  \n2.5 Variables to be included in the SDDF ..................... 12  \n2.6 Auxiliary variables in the SDDF ........................ 12  \n2.7 Analytical Inclusion Probabilities ....................... 13  \nBibliography 13  \nAppendices 15  \nA Sampling issues in Round 8 Survey Speci􀀌cation for ESS ERIC Member, Observer and Guest countries 16  \nB Estimator Used for the Design E􀀋ect and E􀀋ective Sample Size 17  \nC Example: Estimation of the Design E􀀋ect 20  \n1. Principles for Sampling in the ESS  \n1.1 Developing a Sampling Design and Sign-O􀀋 Procedure  \nSince the 􀀌rst ESS round the SEP has worked together with NC teams to implement the ESS sampling speci􀀌cation given the present frameworks for sampling in each country. The panel will continue its work. Its current members are the following sampling specialists:  \n• Stefan Zins [Chair] (GESIS, Germany)  \n• Sabine Hder (GESIS, Germany)  \n• Seppo Laaksonen (University of Helsinki, Finland)  \n• Peter Lynn (University of Essex, U.K.)  \n• Siegfried Gabler (GESIS, Germany)  \nDepending on the number of participating countries in ESS round 8 each of the experts will be assigned to a set of countries to liaise with and provide support when implementing the sampling speci􀀌cation. However, the decision to sign-o􀀋 a design will be made be the entire SEP.  \nAs the main tool to manage the planning of the sampling design, the so-called sampling Sign-o􀀋 Form (SoF), is used. The SoF documents in detail the sampling design and serves as the point of origin for any other documentation containing information about the sampling design. Once signed o􀀋, the SoF describes the sampling design as sanctioned by the SEP on behalf of the CST. All further reports regarding sampling in the participating countries will be based on this document.  \nThe NCs are asked to propose a draft sampling design, which could be the same sampling scheme as used in a previous round. Sampling methods and sampling frames are discussed by the responsible sampling expert and the NC to determine a best practice sampling strategy in a country.  \nFor further planning of the sampling design in a country some key information is needed:  \n• A benchmark value of the design e􀀋ect. If a country does not participate for the  \n􀀌rst time in the ESS and recycles a sampling design of a previews round the SEP will provide the NC with ","cbCaibVolXsM1ymR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibVolXsM1ymR","pdf",338640,23,"English","# Summary\n# Contents\n# Principles for Sampling in the ESS\n## Developing a Sampling Design and Sign-Off Procedure\n## Basic principles for sampling in cross-national surveys\n## Sampling\n## Coverage of the Target Population\n## Sample Size\n# The Sign-off Form\n## Description of the target population\n## Sampling Design\n## Sample Size\n## SDDF\n## Variables to be included in the SDDF\n## Auxiliary variables in the SDDF\n## Analytical Inclusion Probabilities\n# Bibliography\n# Appendices\n## Sampling issues in Round 8 Survey Specification for ESS ERIC Member, Observer and Guest countries\n## Estimator Used for the Design Effect and Effective Sample Size\n## Example: Estimation of the Design Effect","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Sampling Expert Panel (SEP) in the ESS?\",\"answer\":\"The SEP evaluates and helps implement the ESS sampling design in each participating country, working with National Coordinators to make ESS sampling principles usable as workable designs.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the sampling design managed and approved in ESS?\",\"answer\":\"ESS uses a Sampling Sign-off Form (SoF) as the main planning tool.
