This paper is concerned with the asymptotic properties of the converged solution of the raking‐ratio estimator. After a description of the raking‐ratio estimation procedure, we show that the estimator can be unbiased in the presence of nonresponse if the nonresponse has a particular structure. We also give the asymptotic variance of the estimator. Finally, the results of two numerical applications are presented.
