Contents:
The nonresponse problem -- Basic theoretical concepts -- Reducing nonresponse -- Nonresponse and the mode of data collection -- Analysis of nonresponse -- An international comparison of nonresponse -- Nonresponse and representativity -- Weighting adjustment techniques -- Selection of auxiliary variables -- Re-approaching nonrespondents -- The use of response propensities -- Analysis and adjustment accounting for the cause of nonresponse -- Adaptive survey designs -- Item nonresponse -- Miscellaneous topics.
Summary: This volume presents an all-inclusive guide to the problem of nonresponse in household surveys, providing an overview of the theory while also describing practical implications. The book begins with a general overview of the nonresponse problem, outlining existing sources of error and guidelines for calculating response rates according to various international standards. The theoretical content of survey sampling is also explored and presented in a chapter along with a discussion on nonresponse on survey estimates and missing data mechanisms. Subsequent chapters provide guidance on ...
