We propose a method for estimating the variance of estimators of changes over time, a method that takes account of all the components of these estimators: the sampling design, treatment of non-response, treatment of large companies, correlation of non- response from one wave to another, the effect of using a panel, robustification, and calibration using a ratio estimator. This method, which serves to determine the confidence intervals of changes over time, is then applied to the Swiss survey of value added.

Nous proposons une méthode pour estimer la variance des estimateurs des évolutions qui prend en compte toutes les composantes de ceux-ci : le plan de sondage, le traitement des non-réponses, le traitement des grosses entreprises, la corrélation de la non-réponse d’une vague à l’autre, l’effet dû à l’utilisation d’un panel, la robustification et le calage au moyen d’un estimateur par le ratio. Cette méthode, qui permet la détermination d’intervalles de confiance des évolutions, est ensuite appliquée à l’enquête suisse sur la valeur ajoutée.

Coordination of probabilistic samples is a challenging theoretical problem faced by statistical institutes. One of their aims is to obtain good estimates for each wave while spreading the response burden across the entire population. There is a collection of existing solutions that try to attend to these needs. These solutions, which were developed independently, are integrated in a general framework and their corresponding longitudinal designs are computed. The properties of these longitudinal designs are discussed. It is also noted that there is an antagonism between a good rotation and control over the cross-sectional sampling design. A compromise needs to be reached between the quality of the sample coordination, which appears to be optimal for a systematic longitudinal sampling design, and the freedom of choice of the cross-sectional design. In order to reach such a compromise, an algorithm that uses a new method of longitudinal sampling is proposed
