Abstract:

Several methods are used to model nonresponse in surveys; panel information, item nonresponse, last 5%, and area characteristics. This study compares the methods to model nonresponse using match data from the census as a criterion. Recommendations based on the comparisons and limitations based on imperfect matching will be discussed.
