Fannie Cobben | B. Schouten An empirical validation of R-indicators
Response rates are often used as an indication of the quality of the survey response. They are, however, only one side to the coin; the other side is the contrast between respondents and nonrespondents, i.e. to what extent do the two groups give different answers to the survey items. Smaller differences between respondents and nonrespondents do not necessarily go together with higher response rates. Literature gives various empirical examples that show the contrary. Complementary to the response...

Adelaide Ariel | B. Schouten Representativity of the time use survey
In 2006 the selection of respondents for the Time Use Survey ('Tijdbestedingsonderzoek' or 'TBO') consisted of three stages. First, a sample of persons was drawn from the households that responded to the 2005 and 2006 Mobility Surveys (Mobiliteitsonderzoek Nederland or MON). Second, the selected MON respondents be asked to participate in a TBO contact interview. Third, a sample of respondents to this contact interview was invited to complete a one-week TBO diary..

Fannie Cobben | B. Schouten A follow-up with basic questions of nonrespondents to the Dutch labour force survey
From July to December 2005 a large scale follow up of nonrespondents in the Dutch Labour Force Survey (LFS) was conducted at Statistics Netherlands. In the study a sample of nonrespondents in the LFS was approached once more with strongly condensed CATI, web and paper questionnaires containing only the key questions of the LFS; the basic-question approach. We analysed the additional response obtained in the basic-question approach and compared the composition of this group to the LFS response. There...

B. Schouten | Fannie Cobben R-indexes for the comparison of different fieldwork strategies and data collection modes
Many survey organisations focus on the response rate as being the quality indicator for the impact of non-response bias. As a consequence they implement a variety of measures to reduce non-response or to maintain response at some acceptable level. However, in general response rates are not good indicators of non-response bias. Response rates only relate to the accuracy of estimators and also limits the maximal impact of non-response under the worst case scenario. In that respect it is worthwhile...

B. Schouten A follow-up of nonresponse in the Dutch Labour Force survey
From July to December 2005 a large scale follow up of nonrespondents in the Dutch Labour Force Survey (LFS) was conducted at Statistics Netherlands. In the study a sample of non-respondents in the LFS was approached once more by a small number of selected interviewers. The sample consisted of LFS households that refused, were not processed or were not contacted in the LFS of the months July - October. Approximately 43% of the initial non-respondents participated in the followup study, leading to...
