Abstract	In order to obtain valid inference, the analysis of survey data requires special approaches to account for sampling design features. This is particularly true when analyzing complex survey data in which inclusion probabilities are not constant, as is the case for the National Educational Panel Study. Here, statistical methods like ordinary least squares estimation might lead to biased conclusions about what social and behavioral processes one might be interested in. One way to achieve proper results even when a statistical method does not explicitly account for survey design features is by using the method of balanced repeated replication. This methodology provides correct assessment of the variances for a wide range of estimators from stratified multistage sampling designs. In this chapter, we describe how to use the method of balanced repeated replication to analyze the data of the first wave of the fifth- and ninth-grader cohort samples of the National Educational Panel Study. We illustrate its capacities by means of two examples: First, we analyze the proportion of migrants in the fifth and ninth grade in German schools. Then, we study the aspiration of students in the ninth grade concerning educational attainment. The results of both applications underline the effectiveness of the method. (Orig.).
