Title: Item Nonresponse and Unit Nonresponse in Household Surveys

Affiliation(s): U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Keywords: Item Nonresponse ; Survey Nonresponse
Abstract:

Previous studies have examined item nonresponse as a predictor of household nonresponse. The usefulness of item nonresponse and unit nonresponse in examining potential nonresponse bias in surveys is explored. Models of item nonresponse and household nonresponse will be related to survey estimates. The theory that households vary on a continuum of cooperation will be examined through a scale from their unwillingness to respond to the survey at all to their unwillingness to respond to certain items.
