Abstract:	The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) is the first continuous, federally-funded survey designed to measure how people spend their time. The ATUS sample is drawn from households completing their final month of interviews for the Current Population Survey (CPS). This design enables us to look directly at nonresponse without having to rely on techniques such as data matching or the use of reluctant respondents to model nonrespondents. Our paper focuses on nonresponse rates and nonresponse bias. First, we investigate nonresponse rates by demographic characteristics; then, we use logistic analysis to examine determinants of nonresponse, including demographic and labor force characteristics. A propensity score model is utilized to examine differences in time-use patterns and assess the extent of nonresponse bias.
