Survey Response and Survey Characteristics: Microlevel Evidence from the European Community Household Panel
利用欧洲共同体家庭面板数据，研究人口社会人口学特征和数据收集过程特征如何预测调查回应，将回应过程建模为联系和合作两个连续事件。
Summary The paper presents microlevel evidence on the role of the sociodemographic characteristics of a population and the characteristics of the data collection process as predictors of survey response. Our evidence is based on the public use files of the European Community Household Panel, a longitudinal household survey covering the countries of the European Union, whose attractive feature is the high level of comparability across countries and over time. We model the response process as the outcome of two sequential events: contact between the interviewer and an eligible interviewee, and co-operation by the interviewee. Our model allows for dependence between the ease of contact and the propensity to co-operate, taking into account the censoring problem caused by the fact that we observe whether a person is a respondent only if she has been contacted.
