摘要：The authors regret that the above paper contained an error in the calculation of the survey expansionweights (Lambert et al., 2014, p. 110). Using the notation of the paper, the expansion factor for thelth stratum was introduced as wl =agbh=ngh, where g indexes states and h indexes farm size class.This is in fact the correct expression if Sinkhorn’s (1964) RAS method were used. However, Irelandand Kullback’s (1968) cross-entropy method was used to estimate the expansion factors, and divisionof variables a and b by the survey response frequency (ngh) is unnecessary. The typographical errorhas no bearing on the empirical analysis.
