Abstract
Hungary Household Budget Survey has the following objectives:
- obtain weights for consumer price index;
- estimate household expenditure for national accounts;
- study income/expenditure patterns of disadvantaged groups, including pensioner households, single parent households, etc.;
- study income/expenditure disparities among socio-economic groups;
- study consumer behavior among socio-economic groups;
- contribute to general poverty and/or income distribution studies;
- calculate minimum subsistence level (national poverty line).
Study respondents are chosen randomly from Hungarian citizens living in private households in Hungary. Data is gathered through face-to-face interviews and monthly diaries of household expenditures and incomes.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The Primary, Secondary and Ultimate Sampling Units are enumeration area/district, none and dwelling respectively.
Stratification:
Areas/districts were stratified using the following criteria: geographical regions
Households/Consumption Unit, Income Unit, Family Unit were stratified using the following criteria:
- age group of the head
- educational level of household head, household size,economic activity of the household head
The sampling frames for the Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) and Ultimate Sampling Unit (USU) were the list of Census enumeration areas and the master sample of households respectively. Primary Sampling Units (PSU) were selected using probability proportional to size. The sample size was 11000 households or other units. The overall response rate for the survey was 62 percent.4 Errors/biases were minimized by using systematic substitution.
Enumeration procedure: Enumeration uses a panel design in which each reporting unit is enumerated more than once. The sample is divided into 3 representative sub-samples, some of which are replaced with new ones during the lifetime of the panel. Each sub-sample remains in the panel for 36 months. The survey uses 3 sub-samples at the same time and drops 1 sub-samples each time. The panel has an expected lifetime of 3 years, and each reporting household/unit is enumerated 3 times in total. If a reporting household/unit drops out from the panel, it is abandonned. If changes occur in composition of the reporting household/unit during the lifetime of the panel, then it continues in the panel. A smaller set of reporting units is selected from which information on specific issues is gathered or more detailed questions are asked.
