Bo Lu on dual frame survey sampling. Bo has suggested that you

C. J. Skinner and J. N. K. Rao (Mar., 1996) Estimation in Dual Frame Surveys With Complex Designs
Journal of the American Statistical Association
Vol. 91, No. 433 (pp. 349-356). He says it's a bit on the
technical side, so it's not important to understand everything in
the paper.
