Since both procedures are rather descriptive, I'd say it is important
to apply the weights.

Thank you Ben.
But should one really use the survey weights
with the estimation? I have not seen any literature
that mentioned anything regarding the weights in
their Juhn-Murphy-Pierce (1993) estimation.
Also, what about DFL?
DiNardo-Fortin-Lemieux (1996)
My gutts feeling says that I should be using
the survey weights (include into the estimation
when they do the reweighing method).
However, I also don't see any literature
says that they use weights in their
DiNardo-Fortin-Lemieux (1996) estimation.
I'm quite confuse. Can you or anyone help me with this?
Sincerely,
Vora N
