About this Release	About this Release Historically, the ABS has collected income and expenditure statistics via the Survey of Income and Housing Costs (SIHC) and the Household Expenditure Survey (HES). For the 2003/2004 financial year, these two surveys were combined to form the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES). The HIES can be viewed as a two-phase survey with the first phase collecting income data and a smaller second phase collecting expenditure data. This paper presents the proposed estimation methodology for HIES, namely two-phase calibration, and discusses the associated issues including the selection of auxiliary variables, dealing with non-response, and variance estimation.
