Title: Assimilating Dual-Panel Surveys to Generate Population Estimates

Abstract:

For surveys targeting a broad, heterogeneous population, such as that of U.S. consumers, good sample coverage is important to obtaining accurate inferences. Generally, a sample of respondents comes from only one source. However, administering the same survey to two samples generated through different recruitment methodologies potentially allows for better coverage across and within population strata. In this presentation, we discuss our experiences with assimilating responses to the Survey of Consumer Choices from two panels: RAND's American Life Panel and USC's Understanding America Study. Relative comparisons of the panels as well as strategies for assimilating responses from each to estimate population parameters are presented.
