Abstract	The National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) surveys a cohort sample of Kindergarten children (Starting Cohort 2, SC2) and releases corresponding Scientific Use Files, see doi:10.5157/NEPS:SC2:2.0.0 for the actual version. This paper gives details on the applied indirect sampling procedure, the derivation of design weights, their successive adjustments, and the derivation of panel weights. Sampling of Kindergartens is based on an indirect approach because a sampling frame for direct sampling is available neither for Kindergarten children nor for Kindergarten institutions. Starting out with a sample of elementary schools, we draw on Kindergartens that were supplying these elementary schools with first-grade students in school year 2009/2010. After correcting for institutional and individual unit nonresponse each panel cohort member is assigned an adjusted design weight. Relying on these, for all panel waves cross-sectional and longitudinal weights are computed. Furthermore, weights are given for subgroups of the panel cohorts that are of special interest in our analysis. This concerns particularly the group of children continually taking part in the successive waves of the survey and the group of children and parents participating jointly. Analysis via probit regresions highlights the factors influencing the participation probability. (DIPF/Orig.).
