Abstract:
|
The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) provides estimates of how people divide their time each day in the United States. Households that have completed their eighth and final monthly interview in the Current Population Survey (CPS) are eligible for selection in the ATUS. Since the initial data collection in 2003, the ATUS response rate has been below 60%. The low response rate has caused concern over the potential for bias in the ATUS estimates. In 2005, the Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted research on nonresponse in the 2004 ATUS. We follow with an analysis of nonresponse on the 2006 ATUS. We link the ATUS weighted output files to the call history files for nonresponse unit information, and link to the CPS files for available frame variables. We use SAS PROC SURVEYLOGISTIC to model response propensities in the ATUS for individuals or households with different characteristics.
